GLOSSARY (con't.)
CUT-OUT PRESSURE: When you start
your air compressor, it begins to run, air
pressure in the tank begins to build. It
builds to a certain pressure before the
engine automatically idles down - protecting
your air tank from pressure higher than
its design rating. The pressure at which
the engine idles down is called "cut-out
pressure".

DUTY CYCLE

All Makita manufactured air compressors
are recommended to be operated on not
more than a 50% duty cycle. This means
an air compressor that pumps air more
than 50% of one hour is considered mis-
use because the air compressor is under-
sized for the required air demand.
GENERAL
INFORMATION
Check oil, engine, and compressor pump
oil daily. Add oil as required.
Your air compressor can be used for
operating paint spray guns, air tools,
caulking guns, grease guns, air brushes,
sandblaster, inflating tires or spraying
weed killers, insecticides, etcs. An air
pressure regulator is supplied for these
applications.
Separate air transformers which combine
the functions of air regulation and/or
moisture and dirt removal should be used
where applicable.

ON-RECEIPT INSPECTION

DAMAGE: Each air compressor outfit is
carefully tested and checked before ship-
ment. With improper handling, damage
may result in transit and cause problems
with compressor operation.
Immediately upon arrival, check equipment
for both concealed and visible damages to
avoid expenses being incurred to correct
such problems. This should be done
regardless of any visible signs of damage
to the shipping container. If this product
was shipped directly to you, report any
damages to the carrier and arrange for
inspections of goods immediately.
