GLOSSARY

which the motor automatically re-starts is called "cut-in
pressure."

CUT-OUT PRESSURE: 

 When you turn on your air com-

pressor and it begins to run, air pressure in the air tank
begins to build. It builds to approximately 125 PSI before
the motor automatically shuts off .The high pressure at
which the motor shuts off is called "cut-out pressure."

SCFM or CFM: 

 Standard Cubic Feet per Minute; a unit

of measurement of air delivery.

PSIG or PSI: 

 Pounds per square inch gauge.

CUT-IN PRESSURE: 

 While the motor is off, air tank

pressure drops as you continue to use your accessory.
When the tank pressure drops to approximately 100 PSI
the motor will restart automatically. The low pressure at

DUTY CYCLE

All DeVilbiss Air Power manufactured air compressors
should be operated on not more than a 50% duty cycle.
This means an air compressor that pumps air more than

50% of one hour is considered misuse, because the air
compressor is undersized for the required air demand.
Maximum compressor pumping time per hour is 30
minutes.

You have purchased an air compressor unit consisting of
a one cylinder, single-stage air compressor pump, an air
tank, and associated controls and instruments.

This air compressor requires no oil.  Now you can enjoy all
the benefits of having an air compressor without ever
having to purchase, add or change oil.

Your air compressor can be used for operating paint spray

guns, air tools, caulking guns, grease guns, air brushes,
sandblaster, or inflating tires and plastic toys, spraying
weed killers, insecticides, etc. An air pressure regulator is
necessary for most of these applications.

Separate air transformers which combine the functions of
air regulation and/or moisture and dirt removal should be
used where applicable.
