Technical

We recommend the compressor has a maximum 50% duty cycle to prolong pump 

life.  The motor must never be allowed to run continuously otherwise it will overheat 

and may become damaged

Do not ignore air leaks.  All air connections must be leak free to prevent the 

compressor from over heating.

The compressor is fitted with a thermal overload.  In the event of excessive 

temperature the motor will switch off.  To re-set the overload follow the procedure 

below :-

Models VT75/75D, VT150/150D, 

VT200/200D

Motor Sizes 0.75Hp, 1.5Hp, 2.0Hp    

Switch off at the pressure switch.

Allow 50 minutes for the motor to cool 

down.

Switch on at the pressure switch.

Models VT300/300D, VT400/

400D

Motor Size 2x1.5Hp – 2x2.0Hp 

The re-set is integral with the pressure 

switch.  

The pressure switch will automatically 

turn off (O) in the event of motor 

overload.

Turn the pressure switch to the on 

position (I).
