I added an electrical box that feeds off of the compressor shut-off switch. It houses an hour meter, volt meter and strobe. See photos at:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">The system is wired so that the strobe flashes as long as there is power to the compressor. This reminds me to turn it off at the end of the day. I once had
an airline break at night and my old compressor ran non-stop for the night. I now turn it off when I leave the shop and the strobe helps jog my memory to do so.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">The hour meter and volt meter was wired so that they only come on while the compressor motor is running. This gives me an accurate hour reading and lets me see
that proper voltage is getting to the compressor. It also serves as a reminder to change the oil regularly.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">I also plumbed in an automatic drain valve. I have mine set so that it comes on for 10 seconds every time the compressor cycles. That way, I’m sure that water
is regularly drained from the tank. You can buy similar controls to the one shown on eBay or an industrial supply house. Alternatively, you can hook up a short piece of clear hose from the compressor’s drain with a shut off on the end. The water drains
into the clear hose, providing a visual indicator of condensation and an easy way to drain it. I had my hose made at a hydraulic shop from material that could take the compressed air pressure.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Just curious, which of those compressors did you get?<br>

<br>
I'm not sure anything special can be done for break in other than not letting it run continuously and getting really hot. All I did on mine was change the oil a couple of times during the first 20 hours, then annually after that. But that might be a little
excessive.<br>
