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 135 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 110 PSI

the motor will restart automatically. The low pressure at

1. Set the "ON/OFF" switch to "OFF" and unplug the

cord.

2. Review the "Operating Procedures" section (page 8).

Be sure to drain the water from the air tank.

When you have finished using the air compressor:

STORAGE

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

3. Protect the electrical cord and air hose from damage by

winding them loosely around the air compressor.

4. Store the air compressor in a clean and dry location.

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 min-

utes.
