GLOSSARY
CFM: Cubic feet per minute.
SCFM: Standard cubic feet per minute; a unit of measure of air delivery.
PSI: Pounds per square inch; a unit of measure of pressure.
kPa (kilopascal): Metric pressure measurement. 1 kilopascal equal 1000 pascals.
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.
California Code: Unit may comply with California Code 462 (l) (2)/(M) (2). Specification/model label is on the side of the air tank on units
that comply with California Code.
Unloader Blow-Off Pressure: All models are continuous running units controlled by air tank pressure. When the maximum air tank pres-
sure is obtained, the unloader valve will blow-off. This will cause the compressor to exhaust the air to the atmosphere and not the
tank. This decreases the load on the engine and allows it to run at a near no-load condition.
Unloader Reset Pressure: When the air tank pressure drops to a predetermined point, the unloader valve closes. The air tank pressure
will now increase until it reaches the unloader blow-off pressure.
Branch Circuit: The 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.
This section provides a list of the more frequently encountered malfunctions, their causes and corrective actions. The operator or maintenance
personnel can perform some corrective actions, and others may require the assistance of a qualified EMGLO technician or your dealer.
