Description of Operation
Become familiar with these controls before operating the unit.
On/Auto/Off Switch: Turn this switch
ON 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.
Globe Valve (sold separately): Opens and closes air discharge valve. Turn
knob counter-clockwise to open and clockwise to close.
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.
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.
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.
