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 pressure switch, is
designed to automatically
release
compressed
air from the compressor
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
restar_ 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 an automatic reset 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.
The
compressor
will automatically
restart
after the motor cools.
How to Use Your Unit
How to Stop:
1.
Set the On/Auto/Off lever to
"OFF".
Before
First
Start-up
Risk of Unsafe
Operation. Serious
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 On/Auto/Off
lever
is in the "OFF" position.
NOTE: If quick connect is installed,
pull coupler back until it clicks to
prevent air from escaping through the
quick connect.
2.
Plug the power cord into the
correct branch circuit receptacle.
(Refer to Voltage and Circuit
Protection paragraph
in the
Installation section of this
manual.)
3.
Open the drain valve fully
(counterclockwise)
to permit air
to escape and prevent air
pressure build up in the air tank
during the break-in period.
NOTE: Always drain tank on a
washable surface or in a suitable
container to prevent damaging or
staining surfaces.
