Use And Care Manual

END OF OPERATION/STORAGE

Turn the ON/OFF switch to the OFF (O) position.

Unplug power cord from wall outlet and wrap around

handle area to prevent damage when not in use.

Wearing safety glasses, drain tank of air by pulling the

ring on the safety valve. Use other hand to deflect fast

moving air from being directed toward your face.

Drain tank of condensation by opening drain valves on

bottom of tank. Tank pressure should be below 10 PSI

when draining tank.

Air hose should be disconnected from compressor and

hung open ends down to allow any moisture to drain.

Compressor and hose should be stored in a cool, dry

place.

OPERATION

OVERLOAD PROTECTOR

This air compressor is equipped with a thermal overload

device which will turn the air compressor off automatically,

if the air compressor becomes overheated. If the motor

turns OFF repeatedly, check for the following possible

causes first: Low Voltage from the outlet. Lack of proper

ventilation or outside air or room temperature too high.

Extension cord too long or wrong gauge wire used.

To reset the air compressor:

Turn the air compressor off.

Unplug the air compressor and allow it to cool for 30

minutes.

Plug the air compressor into an approved outlet.

Turn the air compressor on.

DUTY CYCLE:

To avoid overheating of the electric motor, this

compressor is designed for intermittent operation as

indicated on the dataplate: S3-50 means 5 minutes ON

and 5 minutes OFF.

If the compressor run time exceeds the S3-50 duty

cycle, then the application requires more air than the

compressor is capable to deliver.

To ensure tool performance, the SCFM output of the

compressor should exceed the CFM requirement of the

tool by 20%.
