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
saf_ywh,e
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.
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.
Universal Quick-Connect
Body." The universal quick-connect
body accepts
the three most popular styles of quick-connect
plugs- Industrial, automotive
(Tru-flate), and ARO. One hand push-to-connect
operation makes connections
simple and easy.
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
over the pump head, cylinder sleeve, and crankcase. You know the cooling
system is working when air is being expelled.
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.
