Operation Guide
o
The compressor is designed for individual use, not for commercial or industrial applications.
o
The compressor is fitted with a thermal cut-off switch. This switch protects the motor from
overheating. If the compressor cuts-out, turn off the power switch and allow the compressor to
cool for at least 45 minutes before attempting to restart.
o
The compressor duty cycle is rated at 23°C. Higher ambient temperature will reduce the duty cycle.
o
The duty cycle is rated over a 60-minute operating period. The compressor is not rated to run
continuously beyond the specified duty cycle.
o
TJM recommends using the compressor while the vehicle engine is running, operating the
compressor with the vehicle engine off can rapidly drain the battery.
o
Discharged air will contain moisture due to air humidity. When using the compressor in conjunction
with an on-board air tank, TJM recommends installing a moisture trap before the air tank inlet
and/or fitting the air tank with a drain valve.
o
The compressor is fitted with a safety relief valve, set at factory to 155 PSI. The valve can also be
manually opened to discharge air pressure by pulling on the ring at the top of the valve. It is
recommended to discharge the air system after using the compressor.
