THERMAL BREAKER RESET BUTTON
As long as the SCFM capacity (5.9 scfm @ 90 psi, 7.3 scfm @ 40 psi)
of the Eastwood 29 Gallon Compressor is not exceeded, it is capable of
running continuous automatically controlled on/off cycles. If the SCFM
demands are exceeded, the Compressor will run continuously in efforts to
meet demand. If this occurs, the motor will overheat and the Thermal Pro-
tection Breaker will activate and cause the motor to shut off. If this should
occur, allow the motor to cool then press the red Reset Button located at
the front endcap of the motor
(Fig 5)
.
NOTE:
The motor will only start when it has cooled sufficiently.

MAINTENANCE
• Inspect tank and fittings for damage or leaks.
• Drain moisture from tank.
• Test Pressure Relief Valve.
• Inspect tank and fittings for damage or leaks.
• Drain moisture from tank.
• Clean dirt and debris from cooling air vents.
CHECK OIL
1.
The Compressor must be on a level surface for an accurate oil level
reading.
2.
Turn Compressor off and allow a minute or so for the oil to drain into
the crankcase.
3.
View Sight glass at the front of the crankcase. The oil level should be
within the Red Red Dot visible in the Sight Glass
(Fig 6)
. If the oil level
appears below the bottom edge of the Red Dot, oil must be added.
