Paint spray on internal
motor parts
Possible defective motor
Motor will start automatically when
tank pressure drops below cut- in
pressure of pressure tank.
To reset the motor overload toggle/turn
the pressure switch AUTO/OFF lever
to the OFF position and unplug the
unit from the power outlet. Allow 10
minutes (minimum) for motor overload
cut-out to cool and reset. Unit can
then be plugged in and re-started.

breaker. Do not use fuse or circuit
breaker with higher rating than
specified for your branch circuit.
