Check Valve: When the air compressor is operating,
the check valve is "open", allowing compressed air to
enter the air tank. When the air compressor reaches
"cut-out" pressure, the check valve "closes", allowing
air pressure to remain inside the air tank.
Pressure Release Valve: The pressure release valve,
located on the side of the pressure switch, is
designed to automatically release compressed air
from the compressor head and the outlet tube when
the air compressor reaches "cut-out" pressure or is
shut off. The pressure release valve allows the motor
to restart freely. When the motor stops running, air
will be heard escaping from this valve for a few
seconds. No air should be heard leaking when the
motor is running, or continuous leaking after unit
reaches "cut-out" pressure.
Air Intake Filter (not shown) This filter is designed to clean air coming into
the pump. This filter must always be clean and ventilation openings free from
obstructions. See "Maintenance".
How to Use Your Unit
How to Stop:
1.
Set the On/Auto/Off lever to "OFF".
Before Starting
Break-in Procedure
This procedure is required before the air compressor is put into service and
when the check valve or a complete compressor pump has been replaced.
1.
Make sure the On/Auto/Off lever is in the "OFF" position.
2.
Recheck all wiring. Make sure wires are secure at all terminals connections.
Make sure all contacts move freely and are not obstructed.
3.
Open the globe valve fully to permit air to escape and prevent air pressure
build up in the air tank during the break-in period.
4.
Move the On/Auto/Off lever to "ON/AUTO" position. The compressor will
start.
5.
Run the compressor for 20 minutes. Make sure the globe valve is open
and there is minimal air pressure build-up in tank.
6.
Check all air line fittings and connections/piping for air leaks by applying a
soap solution. Correct if necessary. NOTE: Minor leaks can cause the air
compressor to overwork, resulting in premature breakdown or inadequate
performance.
S
erious damage may result if the following break-in
instructions are not closely followed.
