How To Use Your Unit - Craftsman 919.195413 Owner's Manual

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 compres-
sor is operating, the check valve is
"open", allowing compressed air to
enter the air tank. When the air com-
pressor reaches "cut-out" pressure,
the check valve "closes", allowing air
pressure to remain inside the air tank.
Check Valve
Pressure Release Valve: The pres-
sure 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 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: This motor has a manual ther-
mal 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.

HOW TO USE YOUR UNIT

How to Stop
1. Set the Auto/Off switch to "Off".
Before Starting
and understand this instruction
manual for safety, operation and
maintenance instructions.
Break-in Procedure
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.
2. Check oil level in pump. See "Oil"
paragraph in the Maintenance
section for instructions.
NOTE: If quick connect is installed,
pull coupler back until it clicks to
prevent air from escaping through the
quick connect.
3. Plug the power cord into the cor-
rect branch circuit receptacle.
(Refer to Voltage and Circuit
Protection paragraph in the
Installation section of this manual.)
4. 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.
