OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Please read and follow the operating instructions
carefully to assure that you will enjoy the convenience
and best use out of your air compressor.
IMPORTANT:
1. Always operate the compressor at or BELOW THE
MAXIMUM PRESSURE RATING of the compressor. Refer
to the Specifications section of this manual for details.
2. Always OBSERVE THE MAXIMUM DUTY CYCLE of the air
compressor. Refer to Specifications section of this
manual for details. Operation exceeding maximum
pressure ratings and/or duty cycle will result in damage to
the air compressor.
3. Your air compressor is equipped with an AUTOMATIC
THERMAL OVERLOAD PROTECTOR. This feature is
designed to protect the air compressor from over-heating
and causing permanent damage to your air compressor.
The thermal overload protector will automatically shut off
power to the air compressor should internal operating
temperature of the air compressor rise above safe levels
during excessive use.
4. Should at any time during use, your air compressor
automatically shuts off - do not attempt to restart. Turn
ON/OFF switch of air compressor to the OFF position. The
automatic thermal overload protector will automatically
reset when internal temperature of the air compressor
drops below safe level. After allowing air compressor to
cool off for about 30 minutes, you can safely resume use
of the air compressor by turning the air compressor back
on.
5. Please note that you may experience a slight delay (about
½ second) of the compressor’s motor starting when the
ON/OFF Switch is turned ON while compressor is
pressurized (when there is pressure in the line that the
compressor is connected to). This is a normal delayed
reaction, not a Compressor ON/OFF Switch malfunction.
6. It is recommended that you keep the vehicle’s engine
running while using the air compressor to prevent
discharge of your vehicle’s battery. ONLY OPERATE THE
AIR COMPRESSOR IN WELL VENTILATED AREAS.
Compressor performance is enhanced when operating
compressor with vehicle engine running.
