GETTING TO KNOW YOUR COMPRESSOR (CONTINUED)
Regulator - The regulator controls the amount of air pressure at the hose outlet. Turning regulator knob
clockwise (to the right) will increase air pressure at the
outlet.
Turning knob counterclockwise (to the
left) will lower air pressure to the outlet. Turning knob fully counterclockwise will shut off flow of air
completely.
Handle - Designed to move the compressor.
ASME Safety Valve - This valve automatically releases air if the tank pressure exceeds the preset
maximum.
Exhaust Tube - This tube carries compressed air from the pump to the check valve. This tube becomes very
hot during
use.
To avoid the risk of severe burns, never touch the exhaust
tube.
Check Valve - One-way valve that allows air to enter the tank, but prevents air in the tank from flowing
back into the compressor pump.
Air Outlet - A quick connect coupler designed to work in combination with a quick connect plug to quickly
and easily join the compressor to an air hose.
Pressure Gauges - These gauges will show air pressure in the compressor tank and at the compressor
outlet.
Outlet Pressure Gauge
-
Will show air pressure at the outlet in pounds per square inch (psi). Make sure
this gauge reads ZERO (by adjusting regulator knob fully counterclockwise) before changing air tools or
disconnecting air hose from
outlet.
Tank Pressure Gauge
-
Will show air pressure in tank while the compressor is
running,
indicating
compressor is building pressure properly. This gauge will show maximum pressure of compressor when it
shuts off automatically at the pressure switch.
Drain Valve
-
This valve is located underneath the
tank.
Use this valve to drain moisture from the tank daily
to reduce the risk of corrosion.
I
A
CAUTION
I
Drain liquid from tank daily.
Reduce tank pressure below 10 psi, then drain moisture from tank daily to avoid tank corrosion. Drain
moisture from tank by opening the drain valve located underneath the tank.

NOTICE
To reduce the risk of electrical hazards, fire hazards or damage to the tool, use proper circuit
protection.
Your tool is wired at the factory for operation using the voltage shown. Connect tool to a
power line with the appropriate voltage and a 15-amp branch
circuit.
Use a 15-amp time delay
type fuse or circuit breaker.
NOTICE
To reduce the risk of shock or fire, if power cord is worn or
cut,
or damaged in any way, have it
replaced immediately.
The A-C motor used on this compressor
is
a permanent split capacitor non-reversible induction type, having
the following specifications. It is wired at the factory for operation on 11 0V-120V AC, 60 Hz
service.
