CFM: Cubic feet per minute.
SCFM: Standard cubic feet per minute; a unit of measure of air delivery.
PSIG: Pounds per square inch gauge; a unit of measure of pressure.
Code Certification: Products that bear one or more of the following marks: UL,
CUL, ETL, CETL, have been evaluated by OSHA certified independent safety laboratories and meet the applicable Standards for Safety.
Cut-In Pressure: While the motor is off, air tank pressure drops as you continue
to use your accessory. When the tank pressure drops to a certain lower level the
motor will restart automatically. The low pressure at which the motor automatically
restarts is called "cut-in" pressure.
Cut-Out Pressure: When an air compressor is turned on and begins to run, air
pressure in the air tank begins to build. It builds to a certain high pressure before
the motor automatically shuts off, protecting your air tank from pressure higher
than its capacity. The high pressure at which the motor shuts off is called "cutout" pressure.
Branch Circuit: Circuit carrying electricity from electrical panel to outlet.
DUTY CYCLE
This air compressor pump is capable of running continuously. However, to
prolong the life of your air compressor, it is recommended that a 50%-75%
average duty cycle be maintained; that is, the air compressor pump should not

DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
Become familiar with these controls before operating the unit.
On(I)/Off(O) Switch: Place this switch in the On (I) position to provide automatic
power to the pressure switch and Off (O) to remove power at the end of each
use.
Pressure Switch (not shown): The pressure switch automatically starts the
motor when the air tank pressure drops below the factory set "cut-in" pressure.
It stops the motor when the air tank pressure reaches the factory set "cut-out"
pressure.
Safety Valve: If the pressure switch does not shut off the air compressor at its
"cut-out" pressure setting, the safety valve will protect against high pressure by
"popping out" at its factory set pressure (slightly higher than the pressure switch
"cut-out" setting).
Tank Pressure Gauge: The tank pressure gauge indicates the reserve air pressure in the tank.
Outlet Pressure Gauge: The outlet pressure gauge indicates the air pressure
available at the outlet side of the regulator. This pressure is controlled by the
regulator and is always less than or equal to the tank pressure.
Regulator: Controls the air pressure shown on the outlet pressure gauge. Turn
regulator knob clockwise to increase pressure and counterclockwise to decrease
pressure.
Cooling System (not shown): This compressor contains an advanced design
cooling system. At the heart of this cooling system is an engineered fan. It is
perfectly normal for this fan to blow air through the vent holes in large amounts.
You know that the cooling system is working when air is being expelled.
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.
Drain Valve: The drain valve is located at the base of the
air tank and is used to drain condensation at the end of
each use.
Check Valve: When the air compressor is operating, the
check valve is "open", allowing compressed air to enter
Drain
Valve
the air tank. When the air compressor reaches "cut-out"
pressure, the check valve "closes", allowing air
pressure to remain inside the air tank.
Motor Overload Protector (not shown): The
motor has an automatic reset thermal overload
protector. If the motor overheats for any reason,
Check Valve
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.
