power at the end of each use.
CUT-OUT PRESSURE: When you turn on your air com-
pressor and it begins to run, air pressure in the air tank
begins to build. It builds to approximately 125 PSI before the
motor automatically shuts off .The high pressure at which
the motor shuts off is called "cut-out pressure."
MOTOR THERMAL OVERLOAD PROTECTOR: The elec-
tric motor has an automatic thermal overload protector. If
the motor overheats for any reason, the thermal overload
protector will shut off the motor. The motor must be allowed
to cool before restarting.
SCFM or CFM: Standard Cubic Feet per Minute; a unit of
measurement of air delivery.
PSIG or PSI: Pounds per square inch gauge.
CUT-IN PRESSURE: While the motor is off, air tank
pressure drops as you continue to use your accessory.
When the tank pressure drops to approximately 100 PSI
the motor will restart automatically. The low pressure at
which the motor automatically re-starts is called "cut-in
pressure."
ON/AUTO-OFF SWITCH: Turn this switch ON to provide
automatic power to the pressure switch and OFF to remove
1. Set the "ON/OFF" switch to "OFF" and unplug the
cord.
2. Review the "Operating Procedures" section (page 9).
Be sure to drain the water from the air tank.
When you have finished using the air compressor:
STORAGE
DUTY CYCLE
All DeVilbiss Air Power manufactured air compressors
should be operated on not more than a 50% duty cycle.
This means an air compressor that pumps air more than
3. Protect the electrical cord and air hose from damage by
winding them loosely around the air compressor.
4. Store the air compressor in a clean and dry location.
50% of one hour is considered misuse, because the air
compressor is undersized for the required air demand.
Maximum compressor pumping time per hour is 30 min-
utes.
