Twin Cylinder Air Compressor

N
G

Pressure Release Valve:

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.

Motor Overload Protector
(not shown):

The motor

has an automatic reset ther-
mal overload protector. If
the motor overheats for any
reason, the overload protec-
tor will shut off the motor.
The motor must be allowed
to cool down before restart-
ing. The compressor will
automatically restart after
the motor cools.

HOW TO USE YOUR
UNIT

HOW TO STOP

Set the On/Auto/Off lever
to “OFF”.

BEFORE EACH START-UP:

1. Place On/Auto/Off lever

to “OFF”.

2. Pull regulator knob out,

turn counterclockwise
until it stops. Push knob in
to lock in place.

3. Attach hose and acces-

sories.

NOTE:

The hose or accessory

will require a quick connect
plug if the air outlet is
equipped with a quick con-
nect.

BEFORE FIRST START-UP

Serious

damage may result if the
following break-in
instructions are not close-
ly followed.

This procedure is required

before

the air compressor is

put into service and when
the check valve or a com-
plete compressor pump has
been replaced.
1. Make sure the

On/Auto/Off lever is in the
"OFF" position.

NOTE:

If quick connect is

installed, pull coupler back
until it clicks to prevent air
from escaping through the
quick connect.
2. Plug the power cord into

the correct branch circuit
receptacle. (Refer to
Voltage and Circuit

Protection paragraph in
the Installation section of
this manual.)

3. Open the drain valve fully

(counterclockwise) to per-
mit air to escape and pre-
vent air pressure build up
in the air tank during the
break-in period.

NOTE:

Always drain tank on

a washable surface or in a
suitable container to pre-
vent damaging or staining
surfaces.
4. Move the On/Auto/Off

lever to "ON/AUTO" posi-
tion. The compressor will
start.

5. Run the compressor for 15

minutes. Make sure the
drain valve is open and
there is minimal air pres-
sure build-up in tank.

6. After 15 minutes, close

the drain valve (clock-
wise). The air receiver will
fill to “cut-out” pressure
and the motor will stop.

The compressor is now ready
for use.

Operation
(Continued)

If the overload protector
shuts the motor off fre-
quently, check for a possible
voltage problem. Low volt-
age can also be suspected
when:
1. The motor does not get

up to full power or
speed.

2. Fuses blow out when

starting the motor; lights
dim and remain dim
when motor is started
and is running.
