OPERATION
Know Your Air Compressor
READ THIS OWNER’S MANUAL AND SAFETY RULES BEFORE OPERATING
YOUR UNIT. Compare the illustrations with your unit to familiarize yourself with
the location of various controls and adjustments. Save this manual for future
reference.
Description of Operation
Become familiar with these controls
before operating the unit.
On/Auto/Off Switch: Turn this
switch "ON/AUTO" to provide
automatic power to the pressure
switch and "OFF" to remove power
at the end of each use.
Pressure Switch: The pressure
switch automatically starts the
motor when the air tank pressure
drops below the factory set "cut-in"
pressure. It stops the motor when
the air tank pressure reaches the
factory set "cut-out" pressure.
Safety Valve: If the pressure switch
does not shut off the air compressor
at its "cut-out" pressure setting, the
safety valve will protect against high
pressure by "popping out" at its
factory set pressure (slightly higher
than the pressure switch "cut-out"
setting).
Outlet Pressure Gauge: The outlet
pressure gauge indicates the air
pressure available at the outlet side
of the regulator. This pressure is
controlled by the regulator and is
always less than or equal to the tank
pressure.
Tank Pressure Gauge: The tank
pressure gauge indicates the reserve
air pressure in the tank.
Regulator: Controls the air pressure
shown on the outlet pressure gauge.
Pull the knob out and turn clockwise
to increase pressure and
counterclockwise to decrease
pressure. When the desired pressure
is reached push knob in to lock in
place.
Drain Valve:
The drain valve
is located at
the base of the
air tank and is
used to drain
condensation at the end of each use.
Cooling System (not shown): This
compressor contains an advanced
design cooling system. At the heart
of this cooling system is an
engineered fan. It is perfectly normal
for this fan to blow air through the
vent holes in large amounts. You
know that the cooling system is
working when air is being expelled.
Air Compressor Pump (not shown):
Compresses air into the air tank.
Working air is not available until the
compressor has raised the air tank
pressure above that required at the
air outlet.
