Do not attempt to remove or adjust the safety valve.
Check the safety valve by performing these three steps:
1. Plug the compressor in and run until shut-off pressure
is reached.
2. Wearing safety glasses, pull out on the safety valve ring
to release pressure from the tank.
3. The safety valve should close automatically at
approximately at 40-50 PSI. If the safety valve does not
allow air to be released when you pull out on the ring, or
does not close automatically, it must be replaced.
To ensure efficient operation and longer life of the air
compressor unit, a routine maintenance schedule should
be followed. The following schedule is geared toward a
consumer whose compressor is used in a normal working
environment on a daily basis.
This compressor is equipped with an automatic reset
thermal overload protector which will shut off motor if it
becomes overheated. If the thermal overload protector is
actuated, the motor must be allowed to cool down before
start-up is possible.
NOTE: The motor will automatically restart without warn-
ing if the unit is left plugged in to an outlet with the Auto-
On/Off switch in the on position
