Cooming System (not shown}:
This
compressor contains an advanced
design cooling system. At the heart of
this cooting system is an engineered
fan. It is perfectly normal for this fan
to blow air through the vent holes
in large amounts. You know that the
cooling system is working when air is
being expelled.
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 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 Vatve: 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 wilI 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.
How to Use Your Unit
How to Stop:
1= Set the On/Auto/Off lever to

Before
First
Start-up
Risk of Unsafe
Operation,
Serious
damage
may resumt if the following
breakqn
instructions
are not
cloeemy 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=
(Refer to "Voltage and Circuit
Protection" paragraph in the
"Installation"
section of this
manual.)
3=
Open the drain valve fully
(counterclockwise)
to permit
air to escape and prevent air
pressure build up in the air tank
during the break-in period=
NOTE: Always drain tank on a
washabie surface or in a suitable
container to prevent damaging or
staining surfaces=
4=
Move the On/Auto/Off
lever
to "On/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=
