ACCESSORIES

GLOSSARY

Become familiar with these terms before operating the unit.

CFM: Cubic feet per minute.

SCFM: Standard cubic feet per minute; a unit of measure of air delivery.

PSIG: Pounds per square inch gauge; a unit of measure of pressure.

Code Certification: Products that bear one or more of the following marks: UL,

CUL, ETL, CETL, have been evaluated by OSHA certified independent safety

laboratories and meet the applicable Underwriters Laboratories Standards for

Safety.

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 a certain low

level the motor will restart automatically. The low pressure at which the motor

automatically restarts is called "cut-in" pressure.

Cut-Out Pressure: When an air compressor is turned on and begins to run,

air pressure in the air tank begins to build. It builds to a certain high pressure

before the motor automatically shuts off - protecting your air tank from

pressure higher than its capacity. The high pressure at which the motor shuts

off is called "cut-out" pressure.

Branch Circuit: Circuit carrying electricity from electrical panel to outlet.

DUTY CYCLE

This air compressor pump is capable of running continuously. However, to

prolong the life of your air compressor, it is recommended that a 50%-75%

average duty cycle be maintained; that is, the air compressor pump should not

run more than 30-45 minutes in any given hour.
