Thanks. I also found the manual online.

What they are not specific about though is the max run time of the compressor before you have to shut it off to let it cool. They give some examples that show you can run it for over 5 minutes before shutting it off. There is also a thermal overload that is supposed to shut it off when it overheats. I don't believe we have ever got to that point.
