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 after the 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 a 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. To restart:
1.
Set the Auto/Off switch to "Off"
and unplug unit.
2.
Allow the motor to cool.
3.
Plug the power cord into the
correct branch circuit receptacle.
4.
Set the Auto/Off lever to "Auto"
position.
HOW TO USE YOUR
UNiT
Bow to Stop
1.
Set the Auto/Off switch to "Off".
NOTE: When the unit has been turned
off, it is normal to hear a short hiss of
air being released.
Before Starting
Do not operate this
unit until you read
and understand
this instruction
manual for safety, operation
and
maintenance
instructions.
Break=in Procedure
Risk of property
damage. 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 Auto/Off switch is
in the "Off" position.
NOTE: Push 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.
(Refer to Voltage and Circuit
Protection paragraph in the
Installation section of this
manual.)
3.
Open the drain valve (counter-
clockwise) fully to permit air to
escape and prevent air pressure
build up in the air tank during the
break-in period.
_Risk
from Flying
__
Objects. Always
wear certified
safety equipment:
ANSi Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/
CSA Z94.3} with side shields as
debris can be kicked up into face.
4.
Move the Auto/Off switch to "Auto"
position. The compressor will start.
5.
Run the compressor for 15
minutes. Make sure the drain
valve is open and there is minimal
air pressure build-up in tank.
6.
After 15 minutes, close the drain
valve by turning clockwise.
The
air receiver will fill to "cut-out"
pressure and the motor will stop.
The compressor is now ready for use.
