which the motor automatically re-starts is called "cut-in
pressure."
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."
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
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:
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
minutes.

Air Compressor Pump: To compress air, the piston
moves up and down in the cylinder. On the downstroke,
air is drawn in through the intake valves. The exhaust
valves remain closed. On the upstroke of the piston, air
is compressed. The intake valves close and compressed
air is forced out through the exhaust valves, through the
outlet tube, through the check valve and into the air tank.
Workingairis notavailableuntil thecompressorhas raised
the tank pressure above that required at the air outlet.
Check Valve: When the air compressor is operating, the
check valve is “open”, allowing compressed air to enter
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 Switch: The pressure switch automatically
starts the motor when the tank pressure drops below the
factory set “cut-in”pressure. It stops the motor when the
air tank pressure reaches the factory set “cut-out”pres-
sure.
Regulator: The air pressure coming from the air tank is
controlled by the regulator. Turn the regulator knob
clockwise to increase pressure and counterclockwise to
decrease pressure. To avoid minor readjustment after
makingachange in pressuresetting,always approachthe
desired pressure from a lower pressure. When reducing
from a higher to a lower setting, first reduce to pressure
less
See front cover.
Extension Cords
Useextraair hoseinsteadof anextensioncord to avoid
voltage drop and power loss to the motor.
If an extension cord must be used, be sure it is:
•a3-wireextension cordthathas a 3-bladeground-
ing plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept
the plug on the compressor.
•ingoodcondition.
•no longer than 50 feet.
•14 gauge (AWG) or larger. (Wire size increases as
gauge number decreases.) 12 AWG, 10 AWG and
8 AWG may also be used. DO NOT USE 16 OR 18
AWG.

Your compressor comes to you completely assembled
and ready for use. Operate the air compressor in a dry,
clean, cool and well ventilated area. The air compressor
pump and case are designed to allow for proper cooling.
Clean or blow off dust or dirt that collects on the air
compressor. A clean air compressor runs cooler and

Depending on the air requirements of each particular
accessory, the outlet regulated air pressure may have to
be adjusted while operating the accessory.
Outlet Pressure Gauge: The outlet pressure gauge
indicatestheairpressure available attheoutletside of the
regulator. Thispressureiscontrolled by theregulatorand
is always less or equal to the tank pressure. See “Oper-
atingProcedures”.
Tank Pressure Gauge: The tank pressure gauge indi-
cates the reserve air pressure in the tank.

INSTALLATION AND BREAK-IN PROCEDURES

D25007 8-ENG
Break-in Procedures
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS Additional Regulators and
Controls
Since the air tank pressure is usually greater than that
which is needed, a regulator is employed to control the
air pressure ahead of any individual air driven device.
Separateairtransformers which combinethefunction of
airregulation,moistureanddirt removal should be used
where applicable.
This procedure is required:
1. Before the air compressor is put into service.
2. When the check valve is replaced.
a. Set the pressure switch lever to the "OFF"
position.
b. Plug the power cord into the correct branch
circuitreceptacle.
c. Turn the regulator clockwise, opening it fully, to
prevent air pressure build-up in the tank.
d. Move the pressure switch lever to "ON/AUTO".
The compressor will start.
e. Run the compressor for 15 minutes. Make sure
the regulator is open and there is no tank
pressure build-up.
f. After 15 minutes, close the regulator by turning
knob counterclockwise. The air receiver will fill
to cut-out pressure and the motor will stop. The
compressor is now ready for use.
Serious damage may result if the
followingbreak-ininstructions are
notcloselyfollowed.
The air compressor is equipped with a cord having a
grounded wire with an appropriate grounding plug. The
plug must be used with an outlet that has been installed
and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.Theoutletmust have the sameconfiguration
as the plug. See illustration. DO NOT USE AN ADAPT-
ER.
Inspect the plug and cord before each use. Do not use if
there are signs of damage.
Do not modify the plug that has been provided. If it does
not fit the available outlet, the correct outlet should be
installed by a qualified electrician.
If repairing or replacing cord or plug, the grounding wire
must be kept separate from the current-carrying wires.
Never connect the grounding wire to a flat blade plug
terminal. The grounding wire has insulation with an outer
surface that is green - with or without yellow stripes.
Ifthesegroundinginstructions are not completely under-
stood, or if in doubt as to whether the compressor is
properly grounded, have the installation checked by a
qualified electrician.
IMPROPER GROUNDING CAN RESULT IN
ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK! IN THE EVENT
OF A SHORT CIRCUIT, GROUNDING REDUC-
ES THE RISK OF SHOCK BY PROVIDING AN
ESCAPE WIRE FOR THE ELECTRIC CURRENT.
THIS AIR COMPRESSOR MUST BE PROPERLY
GROUNDED.
INSTALLATION AND BREAK-IN PROCEDURES
