DUTY CYCLE

Accessories for this unit are available at the store the unit was purchased.

ACCESSORIES

Become familiar with these termsbefore operating the unit.CFM: Cubic feet per minute.SCFM: Standard cubic feet perminute; a unit of measure of airdelivery.PSIG: Pounds per square inchgauge; a unit of measure of pressure.Code Certification: Products thatbear one or more of the followingmarks: UL, CUL, ETL, CETL, havebeen evaluated by OSHA certifiedindependent safety laboratories andmeet the applicable UnderwritersLaboratories Standards for Safety.Cut-In Pressure: While the motor isoff, air tank pressure drops as youcontinue to use your accessory.

When the tank pressure drops to acertain low level the motor will restartautomatically. The low pressure atwhich the motor automaticallyrestarts is called "cut-in" pressure.Cut-Out Pressure: When an aircompressor is turned on and beginsto run, air pressure in the air tankbegins to build. It builds to a certainhigh pressure before the motorautomatically shuts off - protectingyour air tank from pressure higherthan its capacity. The high pressureat which the motor shuts off is called"cut-out" pressure.Branch Circuit: Circuit carryingelectricity from electrical panel tooutlet.

This air compressor pump is capableof running continuously. However, toprolong the life of your aircompressor, it is recommended that a

50%-75% average duty cycle bemaintained; that is, the air compressorpump should not run more than 30-45minutes in any given hour.

10 - ENGA03787

Extension CordsUsing extension cords is notrecommended. The use of extensioncords will cause voltage to dropresulting in power loss to the motorand overheating.Instead of using an extension cord,increase the working reach of the airhose by attaching another length ofhose to its end. Attach additionallengths of hose as needed.If an extension cord must be used, besure it is:

• a 3-wire extension cord that hasa 3-blade grounding plug, and a3-slot receptacle that will acceptthe plug on the product

• in good condition

• no longer than 50 feet

• 14 gauge (AWG) or larger. (Wiresize increases as gauge numberdecreases. 12 AWG and 10AWG may also be used. DONOT USE 16 OR 18 AWG.)

Voltage and Circuit ProtectionRefer to the specification chart for thevoltage and minimum branch circuitrequirements.

Certain aircompressors can be

operated on a 15 amp circuit if thefollowing conditions are met. 1. Voltage supply to circuit must

comply with the NationalElectrical Code.

2. Circuit is not used to supply anyother electrical needs.

3. Extension cords comply withspecifications.

4. Circuit is equipped with a 15 ampcircuit breaker or 15 amp timedelay fuse. NOTE: If compressoris connected to a circuitprotected by fuses, use only timedelay fuses. Time delay fusesshould be marked "D" in Canadaand "T" in the US.

If any of the above conditions cannotbe met, or if operation of thecompressor repeatedly causesinterruption of the power, it may benecessary to operate it from a 20 ampcircuit. It is not necessary to changethe cord set.

Outlet Pressure Gauge: The outletpressure gauge indicates the airpressure available at the outlet side ofthe regulator. This pressure iscontrolled by the regulator and isalways less than or equal to the tankpressure. Regulator: Controls the air pressureshown on the outlet pressure gauge.Turn regulator knob clockwise toincrease pressure andcounterclockwise to decreasepressure. Universal Quick-Connect Body:The universal quick-connect bodyaccepts the three most popular stylesof quick-connect plugs: Industrial,automotive (Tru-flate), and ARO. Onehand push-to-connect operationmakes connections simple and easy. Cooling System (not shown): Thiscompressor contains an advanceddesign cooling system. At the heart ofthis cooling system is an engineeredfan. It is perfectly normal for this fanto blow air through the vent holes inlarge amounts. You know that thecooling system is working when air isbeing expelled.
