Know Your Air Compressor

READ THIS OWNER'S MANUAL AND SAFETY RULES BEFORE OPERATING
YOUR UNIT. Compare the illustrations with your unit to familiarize yourself with
the location of various controls and adjustments. Save this manual for future
reference.
On/Auto/Off Switch: Turn this switch
ON/AUTO 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. The pressure switch 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).

OPERATION

Tank Pressure Gauge: The air tank
pressure gauge indicates the reserve
air pressure in the air tank.
Globe Valve: Opens and closes air
discharge valve. Turn knob counter-
clockwise to open and clockwise to
close.
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.
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.
