Description
K
Thermal Overload Reset: (not shown)
This motor has a manual thermal overload protector. If the motor
overheats for any reason, the overload protector will shut off the motor. The motor must be allowed to
cool down before restarting. To restart:
1.
Place the Auto/Off switch in the “Off” position.
2.
Allow the motor to cool.
3.
Depress the red reset button on the motor.
4.
Place the Auto/Off switch in the “Auto” postion to restart the motor.
L
Pressure Release Valve:
(not shown)
The pressure release valve located on the side of the pressure
switch, is designed to automatically release compressed air from the compressor head and the outlet
tube when the air compressor reaches “cut-out” pressure or is shut off. The pressure release valve allows
the motor to restart freely. When the motor stops running, air will be heard escaping from this valve for
a few seconds. No air should be heard leaking when the motor is running or after the unit reaches “cut-
out” pressure.
