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 compres-
sor is operating, the check valve is
"open", allowing compressed air to
enter the air tank. When the air com-
pressor reaches "cut-out" pressure,
the check valve "closes", allowing air
pressure to remain inside the air tank.
Pressure
Release Valve
Pressure Release Valve: The pres-
sure 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 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
continuous leaking after unit reaches
"cut-out" pressure.

Break-in Procedure
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 Auto/Off lever is in
the "Off" position.
NOTe: 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 (counter-
clockwise) fully to permit air to
escape and prevent air pressure
build up in the air tank during the
break-in period.
4.
Move the Auto/Off lever to "Auto"
position. The compressor will start.
5.
Run the compressor for 15
minutes. Make sure the drain
valve is open and there is
minimal air pressure build-up in
tank.
6.
After 15 minutes, close the drain
valve by turning clockwise. The
air receiver will fill to "cut-out"
pressure and the motor will stop.
The compressor is now ready for use.
Before Each Start-Up
1.
Place Auto/Off lever to "Off".
2.
Pull the regulator knob out and
turn counterclockwise to set the
outlet pressure to zero.
Visually inspect air hose, replace if

needed.
4.
Attach hose and accessories.
NOTe: The hose or accessory will
require a quick connect plug if the
air outlet is equipped with a quick
connect socket.
