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",
a!lowing
compressed
air to enter
Check
the air tank.
When the air
compressor
reaches "cut-out"
pressure, the check valve "closes",
a!lowing air pressure to remain inside
the air tank.
Pressure
Release Vatve: 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
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.
Air Intake Filter (not shown):
This
filter is designed to clean air coming
into the pump. This filter must
always be clean and ventilation
openings free from obstructions.
See
"Maintenance".
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 cooI 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:
Serious damage
may result if the
following
break-in
instructions
are
not closemy 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 chicks 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
(counter-clockwise)
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.
