AIR INTAKE FILTER
The filter (A) is designed to clean air entering the
pump. To ensure the pump continually receives a
clean, cool, and dry air supply, the filter must always
be clean and the filter intake must be free from
obstructions.
AIR TANK DRAIN VALVE
The drain valve (F) is located at the base of the air
tank and is used to drain condensation at the end of
each use. See Draining Air Tank under Maintenance.
TANK PRESSURE GAUGE
The tank pressure gauge (C) indicates the
reserve air pressure in the tank.
MAGNETIC STARTER
NOTE: This unit requires a magnetic
starter.
Magnetic starters (J) that are not factory
mounted on the compressor can be mounted
on the wall if desired. Mount as close to compressor as possible.
Size the wires, protect them with conduit, and provide branch circuit
protection per the National Electrical Code.
GLOBE VALVE/AIR DISCHARGE VALVE:
(sold separately, not shown)
Opens and closes air distribution from compressor.
See Air Distribution System paragraph under Installation.
REGULATOR (sold separately, not shown)
An air pressure regulator or a separate air transformer which
combines the functions of air regulation and/or moisture and dirt
removal is recommended for most applications. See Air Distribution
A
System paragraph under Installation.
WARNING: Risk of Bursting. Too much air pressure causes a
hazardous risk of bursting. Check the manufacturer's maximum
pressure rating for air tools and accessories. The outlet pressure
must never exceed the maximum pressure rating of the tools or
accessories.
AIR COMPRESSOR PUMP
The pump compresses air into the air tank. Working air is not available
until the compressor has raised the air tank pressure above that
F
required at the air outlet.
MAGNETIC STARTER RESET SWITCH
If the motor shuts down because of overload, wait 10–15 minutes
so the motor can cool down. To restart:
1.
Set the Auto/Off switch to OFF (O).
2.
Allow the motor to cool.
3.
Depress the reset button (K) on the
C
J
magnetic starter.
4.
Set the Auto/Off switch to AUTO (-).
INSTALLATION
Assembly
Unpack the air compressor. Inspect the unit for damage. If the
