DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
Become familiar with these controls before operating the unit.
Auto(I)/Off(O) Switch: Place this switch in the Auto (I) position to provide
automatic power to the pressure switch and Off (O) 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.
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
decreasepressure.Whenthedesiredpressureisreachedpushknobintolockin

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):Compressesairintotheairtank.Workingair
is not available until the compressor has raised the air tank pressure above that
required at the air outlet.
