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.

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).
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.
