GLOSSARY

Become familiar with these terms before operating the unit.

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 Underwriters Laboratories 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 low 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 run more than 30-45 minutes in any given hour.

OPERATION

Know Your Air Compressor

READ THIS OWNER’S MANUAL AND SAFETY RULES BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT. Compare the illustrations with your unit to familiarize yourself with the location of various controls and adjustments. Save this manual for future reference.

Description of Operation

Become familiar with these controls before operating the unit. On (I)/Auto/Off (O) Switch (A): Turn this

switch "ON(I)/AUTO/OFF(O)" to provide automatic power to the pressure switch and "Off" to remove power at the end of each use.

Pressure Switch (B): 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 (C): 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).

Outlet Pressure Gauge (D): 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.

Tank Pressure Gauge (E): The tank pressure gauge indicates the reserve air pressure in the tank.

Regulator (F): Controls the air pressure shown on the outlet pressure gauge. Turn regulator knob clockwise to increase pressure and counterclockwise to decrease pressure.

Universal Quick-Connect Body (G): The universal quick-connect body accepts the three most popular styles of quick-connect plugs- Industrial, automotive (Tru-flate), and ARO. One hand push-to-connect operation makes connections simple and easy. The two quick connect bodies allow the use of two tools at the same time.

Drain Valve (I): The drain valve is located at the base of the air tank and is used to drain condensation at the end of each use.

13 - ENG

1000000618

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 over the pump head, cylinder sleeve, and crankcase. You know 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.

Dipstick (J): Indicates the amount of oil in the pump, the + mark indicates full and the - mark indicates oil needs to be added. See Oil paragraphs in the Maintenance section for instructions.

Motor Thermal Overload Protector:

This motor has a manual 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. Ensure the On/Off switch (A) is in the OFF

position.

2. Allow the motor to cool.

3. Depress the reset button (N) on the motor.

Air Intake Filter (K): 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".

Check Valve (L): 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 (M): 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.
