Description
F
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.
G
Check Valve:
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.
H
Pressure Release Valve:
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 after the unit
reaches “cut-out” pressure.
I
Motor Overload Reset:
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. Place the Auto/Off switch in the “Off” position.
2. Allow the motor to cool.
3. Depress the red reset button on the motor.
4. Place the Auto/Off switch in the “Auto” postion to restart the motor.

Location of the air
compressor
1. Locate the air compressor in a clean,
dry, and well ventilated area.
2. Located the air compressor at least
18 in. (0.5 m) away from the wall or
other obstructions that will interfere
with the flow of air.

3. Locate the air compressor as
close to the main power supply as
possible to avoid using long lengths
of electrical wiring. NOTE: Long
lengths of electrical wiring could
cause power loss to the motor.
4. The air filter must be kept clear of
obstructions which could reduce air
flow to the air compressor.
