Air Compressor Pump (not shown):

 Compresses air into the air tank. Working air 

is not available until the compressor has raised the air tank pressure above that 

required at the air outlet.

Drain Valve: The drain valve is located at the base of the 

Drain 

Valve

air tank and is used to drain condensation at the end of 

each use. 
Check Valve:

 When the air compressor is operating, the 

check valve is "open", allowing compressed air to enter 

the air tank. When the air compressor reaches "cut­out" pressure, the check 

valve "closes", allowing air pressure to remain inside the air tank.
Pressure Release Valve: The pressure      

Pressure 

Release 

Valve

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.
Motor Overload Protector:

 

The motor has 

a 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.  Set the Auto/Off switch to "Off" and unplug unit.
2.  Allow the motor to cool.
3.  Depress the red reset button on the motor.
4.  Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit receptacle.
5.  Set the Auto/Off switch to "Auto" position.
Air Intake Filter (not shown): This filter is designed to clean air coming into the 

pump. This filter must always be clean and ventilation openings free from obstruc-

tions. See

 Maintenance

.

following break-in instructions are not closely followed.
This procedure is required 

before the air compressor is put into service and when 

the check valve or a complete compressor pump has been replaced.
1.  Make sure the Auto/Off switch is in the "Off" position.
