position to provide automatic power

to the pressure switch and OFF to

remove power at the end of each

use.

PRESSURE SWITCH

The pressure switch (I) automatically

starts the motor when the air tank

pressure drops below the factory set cut-in pressure. It stops the

motor when the air tank pressure reaches the factory set cut-out

pressure.

SAFETY VALVE

If the pressure switch does not shut off the air compressor at its

cut-out pressure setting, the safety valve (G) will protect against

high pressure by popping out at its factory set pressure (slightly

higher than the pressure switch cut-out setting).

CHECK VALVE

When the air compressor is operating, the check valve (F) 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.

TANK PRESSURE GAUGE

COOLING SYSTEM

This compressor contains an advanced design cooling system.

It is normal for this fan to blow air through the vent holes in large

amounts. The cooling system is working when air is expelled.

AIR COMPRESSOR PUMP

The pump 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.

AIR INTAKE FILTER

The filter (J) is designed to clean air entering the pump. To ensure

the pump continually receives a clean, cool, and dry air supply the

filter must always be clean and the filter intake must be free from

obstructions.

PRESSURE RELEASE VALVE

The pressure release valve located on the side of the pressure switch,

is designed to automatically release compressed air from the compres-

sor 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.

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 On/Auto/Off lever to OFF and unplug unit.

2. Allow the motor to cool.

3.

GLOSSARY

CFM: Cubic feet per minute.

SCFM: Standard cubic feet per minute; a unit of measure of air

delivery.

PSI: Pounds per square inch; a unit of measure of pressure.

kPa (kilopascal): Metric pressure measurement. 1 kilopascal

equal 1000 pascals.

Code Certification: Products that bear one or more of the

following marks: UL, CUL, ETL, CETL, have been evaluated by

OSHA certified independent safety laboratories and meet the

applicable Underwriters Laboratories Standards for Safety.

Cut-In Pressure: While the motor is off, air tank pressure drops

when accessory is used. When the tank pressure drops to a certain

low level the motor will restart automatically. The low pressure at

which the motor automatically restarts is called cut-in pressure.

Cut-Out Pressure: When an air compressor is turned on and

begins to run, air pressure in the air tank begins to build. It builds

to a certain high pressure before the motor automatically shuts

off, protecting your air tank from pressure higher than its capacity.

The high pressure at which the motor shuts off is called cut-out

pressure.

Branch Circuit: The circuit carrying electricity from electrical panel

to outlet.

Duty Cycle: This air compressor pump is capable of running

continuously. However, to prolong the life of your air compressor,

it is recommended that a 50%-75% average duty cycle be

maintained; that is, the air compressor pump should not run more

than 30-45 minutes in any given hour.
