Page 8: Duty Cycle
The low pressure at which the motor automatically restarts is called "cut-in" pressure. Cut-Out Pressure: When an air compressor is turned on and begins to run, air pressure in the air tank begins to build. It builds to a certain high pressure before the motor automatically shuts off - protecting your air tank from pressure higher than its capacity.
Page 9: Installation
• Locate the air compressor in a clean, dry and well ventilated area. • The air compressor should be located at least 12" away from the wall or other obstructions that will interfere with the flow of air. • The air compressor pump and shroud are designed to allow for proper cooling.
Page 10: Extension Cords
Extension Cords Using extension cords is not recommended. The use of extension cords will cause voltage to drop resulting in power loss to the motor and overheating. Instead of using an extension cord, increase the working reach of the air hose by attaching another length of hose to its end.

"cut-out" pressure. Safety Valve: If the pressure switch does not shut off the air compressor at its "cut-out" pressure setting, the safety valve will protect against high pressure by "popping out" at its factory set pressure (slightly higher than the pressure switch "cut-out"...
Page 12 Air Compressor Pump (not shown): Compresses air into the air tank. Working air is not available until the compressor has raised the air tank pressure above that required at the air outlet. Check Valve: When the air compressor is operating, the check valve is "open", allowing compressed air to...

Page 18: Troubleshooting
Risk of Unsafe Operation. Unit cycles automatically when power is on. When performing maintenance, you may be exposed to voltage sources, compressed air, or moving parts. Personal injuries can occur. Before performing any maintenance or repair, disconnect power source from the compressor and bleed off all air pressure.
Page 19 Decrease amount of air usage. Check the accessory air requirement. If it is higher than the SCFM or pressure supplied by your air compressor, you need a larger compressor. Check and replace if required. Remove and clean, or replace. Tighten fittings.
Page 20 PROBLEM Regulator will Damaged regulator. not shut off air outlet. Motor will not Motor overload protection run. switch has tripped. Tank pressure exceeds pressure switch "cut-in" pressure.
