THERMAL OVERLOAD PROTECTOR
This compressor is equipped with a
manual reset thermal overload protector
which will shut off motor if it becomes overheated.
If thermal overload protector shuts motor OFF frequently look
for the following causes:
1� Low voltage
2� Clogged intake port (located on pump crankcase)
3� Lack of proper ventilation
If the thermal overload protector is
actuated, the motor must be allowed to cool
down for 30 minutes before manually resetting.
After the unit has cooled down for 30 minutes, manually reset
the thermal overload protector by pushing the button shown in
Figure 5�
STORAGE
