MOTOR RESET SWITCH AND WIRING
WARNING
I
pressing the reset switch to restart the motor.
TOPS senses both temperature and current, providing more complete motor
overload protection than a magnetic starter, which senses only current. If TOPS
senses an overload condition, it will automatically shut down the compressor.
Allow 10-15 minutes for the unit to cool down, than
press the reset button on the motor to restart the
compressor.
If the motor shuts down because of overload, wait
10–15 minutes so the motor can cool down, then
press (NEVER force) the reset switch (see A) to
restart the motor (see Fig. 5).
Note: On stationary models not supplied with a
power cord, the electrical power must be wired into
the pressure switch by a Licensed Electrician.
BREAK-IN OF THE PUMP
NOTE: The pump is shipped with break–in oil which should be changed after
the first 8 hours of operation.
1. Make sure the power is connected at the power panel.
2. Check the oil level in the pump (see "Checking the Oil" in the maintenance
section).
3. Open the petcock (see F).
WARNING
I
may cause eye injury. Wear safety goggles when opening petcock.
4. Turn ON the main power disconnect switch. Turn the pressure switch to the
AUTO position (see D). The motor should start. Allow the compressor to run
for 30 minutes, to break in the internal parts.
NOTE:
If the unit does not operate properly, SHUT DOWN IMMEDIATELY, and
contact your nearest Service Center or call the factory's Customer
Service Department. DO NOT return the unit to the store where it was
purchased.
5. Shut OFF the main power disconnect. Close the petcock (see E). Connect
your air hoseto the tank outlet.
NOTE: As compressed air is used, the pressure switch will restart the motor
automatically to supply more compressed air to the tank.
Ensure that all guards and shrouds are in place before
