Introduction
Refer to Figure I to locate the
following items.
Pressure switch - Auto/Off Switch - In
the "AUTO" position, the compressor
shuts off automatically when tank
pressure reaches the maximum preset
pressure. In the "off" position, the
compressor will not operate. This
switch should be in the "OFF" position
when connecting or disconnecting the
power cord from the electrical outlet or
when changing air tools. (See Figure 8.)
When the pressure switch turns the
motor off you will hear air leaking out
of the Pre_ure Switch Unloader Valve
for a short time. This releases the air
pressure from the discharge tube and
allows the compressor to restart easier.
Regulator - The regulator controls the
amount of air pressure in the air hose,
The air hose is attached at the outlet of
the regulator.
/_ME Safety Valve - This valve
automatically releases air if the tank
pressure exceeds the preset maximum.
