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
Pressure
valve, Release
located on Valve
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".
Motor Overload Protector: The
motor has an automatic reset thermal
overload protector. If the motor
overheats for any reason, the
overload protector will shut off the
motor. The motor must be allowed to
cool down before restarting. The
compressor will automatically restart
after the motor cools.

"OFF".
Before First Start Up:
Risk of Unsafe
Operation. Serious
damage may result if the following
break-in instructions are not
closely followed.
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.
NOTE: If quick connect is installed,
pull coupler back until it clicks to
prevent air from escaping through the
quick connect.
2.
Plug the power cord into the
correct branch circuit receptacle.
