Universal Quick-Connect Body: The
universal quick-connect body accepts
the three most popular styles of quick-
connect plugs: Industrial, automotive
(Tru-flate), and ARO. One hand push-
to-connect operation makes connec-
tions simple and easy.
Drain Valve:
The drain valve is
located at the
base of the air
tank and is used
to drain conden-
sation at the end of each use.
Cooling System (not shown): This
compressor contains an advanced
design cooling system. At the heart of
this cooling 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 Valve:
The pressure
release valve
located on the
side of the pres-
sure switch, is
designed to
automatically release compressed air
from the compressor head and the out-
let tube when the air compressor reach-
es "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:
This filter is
designed to clean
air coming into the
pump. This filter
must always be
clean and ventila-
tion 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
How 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
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.
