CFM: Cubic feet per minute.
SCFM: Standard cubic feet per minute; a unit of measure of air
delivery.
PSIG: Pounds per square inch gauge; a unit of measure of
pressure.
ASME: American Society of Mechanical Engineers; made,
tested, inspected and registered to meet the standards of ASME.
California Code: Unit may comply with California Code 462 ( l )
(2)/(M) (2). Specification/model label is on the side of the tank on
units that comply with California Code.
Cut-In Pressure: While the motor is off, air tank pressure drops
as you continue to use your accessory or air tool.
This air compressor's optimum life may be achieved by operating the unit at a 50 % duty cycle, or less. A 50% duty cycle is
considered to be 30 minutes of 'run time' in any 1 hour time period.
Should the unit operate at a greater than a 50% duty cycle, then the compressor may be undersized for the
required job demand and continued operation above a 50% duty cycle may constitute misuse of the product.
This air compressor is specifically designed for use in lighter duty contractor
finishing applications. Use in any other application requiring higher performance
or longer duty cycle operation may cause premature failure.
You have purchased an air compressor unit consisting of a 1
cylinder, single-stage air compressor pump, an air tank, and
associated controls and instruments.
This air compressor requires no oil. Now you can enjoy all the
benefits of having an air compressor without ever having to
purchase, add or change oil.
Your air compressor can be used for operating paint spray
DAMAGE: Each air compressor outfit is carefully tested and
checked before shipment. With improper handling, damage may
result in transit and cause problems in compressor operation.
Immediately upon arrival, check equipment for both concealed

When the tank pressure drops to a certain low level the motor will
restart automatically. The low pressure at which the motor
automatically restarts is called "cut-in pressure."
Cut-Out Pressure: When you turn on your air compressor and
it begins to run, air pressure in the air tank begins to build. It
builds to a certain high pressure before the motor automatically
shuts off - protecting your air tank from pressure higher than its
capacity. The high pressure at which the motor shuts off is called
"cut-out pressure."
