Eric:
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:
https://gilfuqua.smugmug.com/Other/Air-Compressor-Wiring/i-XT3B685
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 t=
he night. I now turn it off when I leave the shop and the strobe helps jog=
my memory to do so.
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 l=
ets me see that proper voltage is getting to the compressor. It also serve=
s as a reminder to change the oil regularly.
I also plumbed in an automatic drain valve. I have mine set so that it com=
es on for 10 seconds every time the compressor cycles. That way, I=92m sur=
e that water is regularly drained from the tank. You can buy similar contr=
ols 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=92s drain =
with a shut off on the end. The water drains into the clear hose, providin=
g 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.

For my current compressor, the manual said to run it for the first 30 or 60=
minutes with the air valve open so it would not pressurize (free air runni=
ng, no load on the pump or motor).
Just curious, which of those compressors did you get?

I'm not sure anything special can be done for break in other than not letti=
ng 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 t=
hat. But that might be a little excessive.
