reaches cut-out pressure, the check valve closes, allowing air
pressure to remain inside the air tank.
AIR INTAKE FILTER
The filter (A) is designed to clean air entering the
A
pump. To ensure the pump continually receives a
clean, cool, and dry air supply the filter must always
be clean and the filter intake must be free from
obstructions.
AIR TANK DRAIN VALVE
The drain valve (F) is located at the base of
the air tank and is used to drain
condensation at the end of each use. See
Draining Air Tank under Maintenance .
TANK PRESSURE GAUGE
The tank pressure gauge (C) indicates the
reserve air pressure in the tank.
GLOBE VALVE/AIR DISCHARGE VALVE:
(sold separately, not shown)
Opens and closes air distribution from com-
pressor. See
Air Distribution System
para-
graph under Installation .
REGULATOR
(sold separately, not shown) :
An air pressure regulator or a separate air transformer which
combines the functions of air regulation and/or moisture and
dirt removal is recommended for most applications. See
Air
Distribution System
paragraph under Installation.
AIR COMPRESSOR PUMP
The pump 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.
MOTOR OVERLOAD PROTECTOR
The motor has a thermal overload protector.
J
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. Set the Auto/Off switch to OFF (O).
2. Allow the motor to cool.
3. Depress the red reset button (J) on the motor.
4. Set the Auto/Off switch to AUTO (-).
INSTALLATION
Assembly (Fig. 1)
Unpack the air compressor. Inspect the unit for damage. If the
unit has been damaged in transit, contact the carrier and
complete a damage claim. Do this immediately because there are
time limitations to damage claims.
The carton should contain:
•
air compressor
•
operator and parts manuals
Check the compressor’s serial label to ensure that you have
received the model ordered, and that it has the required pressure
rating for its intended use.
INSTALLING HOSES
WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp hose in hand
when installing or disconnecting to prevent hose whip.
1. Ensure regulated pressure gauge reads 0 psi.
2. Apply sealant tape to hose threads.
