Drain Valve: The drain valve is located at the base of

Valve
the air tank and is used to drain condensation at the end of 
each use.
Check Valve: When the air compressor is operating, the 
check valve is "open", allowing compressed air to enter 
Check Valve
the air tank. When the air compressor reaches "cut-
out" pressure, the check valve "closes", allowing air 
pressure to remain inside the air tank.
Pressure Release Valve: The pressure release valve 
located on the side of the pressure switch, is designed 
to automatically release compressed air from the 
compressor head and the outlet tube when the air

Valve
compressor reaches "cut-out" pressure or is shut off. The 
pressure release valve allows the motor to restart freely. 
When the motor stops running, air will be heard escaping 
from this valve for a few seconds. No air should be heard 
leaking when the motor is running or after the unit 
reaches "cut-out" pressure.
Motor Overload Protector: This motor has a manual 
thermal overload protector. If the motor overheats for any reason, the overload 
protector will shut off the motor. The motor must be allowed to cool down be-
fore restarting. To restart:
1. Place the On/Auto/Off lever in the "Off" position.

Before Starting
Break-in Procedure
Risk of Unsafe Operation. Serious damage may result if the 
following break-in instructions are not closely followed.
This procedure is required before the air compressor is put into service and 
when the check valve or a complete compressor pump has been replaced.
1. Make sure the On/Auto/Off lever is in the "Off" position.
2. Check oil level in pump. See "Oil" paragraph in the Maintenance section for 
instructions.
3. Recheck all wiring. Make sure wires are secure at all terminals connections.
Make sure all contacts move freely and are not obstructed.
4. Open the globe valve fully to permit air to escape and prevent air pressure
build up in the air tank during the break-in period.
5. Move the On/Auto/Off lever to "On/Auto" position. The compressor will start.
