COMPRESSOR FEATURES
1) MOTOR/PRESSURE SWITCH: This switch is used to start or stop the air
compressor. Moving the switch to the (On) position will provide automatic
power to the pressure switch which will allow the motor to start when the air tank
pressure is below the factory set cut-in pressure. When in the On Position,
the pressure switch stops the motor when the air tank pressure reaches the factory
set cut-out pressure. For safety purposes, this switch also has a pressure release
valve located on the side of the switch designed to automatically release compressed
air from the air compressor pump head and its discharge line when the air compressor
reaches cut-out pressure or is shut off. This allows the motor to restart freely. Moving
the switch to the Off position will remove power from the motor and stop
the air compressor.
2) MOTOR OVERLOAD: Motor has a protective breaker located on the pump.
Excessive amperage draw will result in the breaker tripping to protect the motor
and operator. Reset the breaker by pushing the black plastic stem back into
the housing. Reset switch if it is tripped.
3) AIR INTAKE FILTER:
This filter is designed to clean air coming into the pump. To
ensure the pump continually receives a clean, cool, dry air supply this filter must
always be clean and ventilation opening free from obstructions. The filter can be
removed for cleaning by using warm, soapy water. Rinse the filter and air dry.
4) AIR COMPRESSOR PUMP: To compress air, the piston moves up and down in
the cylinder. On the downstroke, air is drawn in through the air intake valve while
the exhaust valve remains closed. On the upstroke, air is compressed, the intake
valve closes and compressed air is forced out through the exhaust valve, into the
discharge line, through the check valve and into the air tank.
5) SAFETY RELIEF VALVE: This valve is designed to prevent system failures by
relieving pressure from the system when the compressed air reaches a predetermined
level. The valve is preset by the manufacturer and must not be modified in any way.
To verify the valve is working properly, pull on the ring. Air pressure should escape.
When the ring is released, it will reseat.
6) AIR TANK DRAIN VALVE: The drain valve is used to remove moisture from the air
tank(s) after the air compressor is shut off. NEVER attempt to open the drain valve
when more than 10 PSI of air pressure is in the air tank! To open the drain valve,
turn the knob counterclockwise. Tilt tank to ensure that all condensation drains
through valve.
7) AIR TANK PRESSURE GAUGE: The air tank pressure gauge indicates the
reserve air pressure in the air tank (s).
8) 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 or equal to the air tank pressure.
9) PRESSURE REGULATOR: The air pressure coming from the air tank is
controlled by the regulator knob. Turn the pressure regulation knob clockwise to
increase discharge pressure, and counterclockwise to decrease discharge
pressure. Follow tool operating instructions for recommended pressure range.
10) DISCHARGE LINE: Please note that the discharge line is very hot.
