Description of Operation
Become familiar with these controls
before operating the unit.
On/Auto/Off Lever: Turn this switch
to "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).
Tank Pressure Gauge: The tank
pressure gauge indicates the reserve
air pressure in the tank.

OPERATION
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Check Valve: When
the air compressor
is operating, the
check valve is
"open", allowing
compressed air
to enter the air
tank. When the
air compressor
reaches "cut-
out" pressure, the check valve
"closes", allowing air pressure to
remain inside the air tank.
