GLOSSARY

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

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

cord.

2. Review the "Operating Procedures" section (page 9).

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 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.

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.
