Tank Pressure Gauge (F, Fig. 4):
The tank pressure gauge indicates the
reserve air pressure in the tank.
Cooling System: This compressor contains an advanced design cooling
system. The cooling system is working when air is being expelled.
Drain Valve (G, Fig. 3):
The drain valve is located at the base of the air tank
and is used to drain condensation at the end of each use.
Motor Thermal Overload Protector: The electric motor has an automatic
thermal overload protector. If the motor overheats for any reason, the thermal
overload protector will shut off the motor. The motor must be allowed to cool
before restarting.
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 continuous leaking after unit
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).
If the safety valve does not work properly, over-pressurization
may occur, causing

INSTALLATION AND BREAK-IN PROCEDURES
LOCATION OF THE AIR COMPRESSOR
Your compressor comes to you completely assembled and ready for use.
Operate the air compressor in a dry, clean, cool, and well-ventilated area.
The air compressor pump and case are designed to allow for proper cooling.
Clean or blow off dust or dirt that collects on the air compressor. A clean

Overload protection(Fig. 5)
This compressor has a reset
overload reset button that will restart the motor
after it shuts off due to overloading or low voltage.
If the motor stops during operation:
1. Turn the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.
2. Wait about five minutes for the motor to cool.
3. Push in on the reset button.
4. Turn the switch to the ON position.
TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENTAL START-UP IF THE RESET BUTTON
IS PUSHED, THE ON/OFF SWITCH SHOULD BE IN THE OFF POSITION AND
THE PLUG SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM THE POWER SOURCE WHILE
COOL DOWN TAKES PLACE.
