AIR INTAKE FILTER
The filter (A) 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.
AIR TANK DRAIN VALVE
The drain valve (F) is located at the base of the air
tank and is used to drain condensation at the end of
each use. See Draining Air Tank under Maintenance.
TANK PRESSURE GAUGE
The tank pressure gauge (C) indicates
the reserve air pressure in the tank.
REGULATOR
(sold separately, not shown)
An air pressure regulator or a separate
air transformer which combines the
functions of air regulation and/or
moisture and dirt removal is
recommended for most applications.
See Air Distribution System paragraph
under Installation.
WARNING: Risk of Bursting. Too much air pressure causes a
hazardous risk of bursting. Check the manufacturer's maximum
pressure rating for air tools and accessories. The outlet pressure
must never exceed the maximum pressure rating of the tools or
accessories.
AIR COMPRESSOR PUMP
A
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.
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 (O) and unplug unit.
2.
Allow the motor to cool.
F
3.
Depress the red reset button (N) on
the motor.
4.
Plug the power cord into the correct
branch circuit receptacle.
5.
Set the Auto/Off switch to AUTO (-).
INSTALLATION
Assembly
Unpack the air compressor. Inspect the unit for damage. If the
unit has been damaged in transit, contact the carrier and
complete a damage claim. Do this immediately because there are
C
time limitations to damage claims.
The carton should contain:
air compressor

Check the compressor's serial label to ensure that you have
received the model ordered, and that it has the required pressure
rating for its intended use.
