tAnk Pressure GAuGe
The tank pressure gauge (B) indicates
the reserve air pressure in the tank.
Outlet Pressure GAuGe
The outlet pressure gauge (C)
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.
reGulAtOr
The regulator (D) controls the air pressure shown on the outlet
pressure gauge. Turn regulator knob clockwise to increase pressure
and counterclockwise to decrease pressure.
WARNING: Risk of Bursting. Too much air pressure causes a
hazardous risk of bursting. Check the manufacturer's maximum
pressure rating for air tools and accessories. The regulator outlet
pressure must never exceed the maximum pressure rating.
unIVersAl QuICk COnneCt BODIes
The universal Quick Connect body (E) accepts the three most
popular styles of Quick Connect plugs: Industrial, automotive, and

COOlInG systeM
This compressor contains an advanced design cooling system.
It is normal for this fan to blow air through the vent holes in large
amounts. The cooling system is working when air is expelled.

AIr COMPressOr PuMP

The pump 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.

MOtOr OVerlOAD PrOteCtOr

The motor has a thermal overload protector. If the motor overheats
for any reason, the overload protector will shut off the motor. The
motor must be allowed to cool down before restarting. To restart:
1. Set the On/Off lever to "Off" and unplug unit.
2. Allow the motor to cool.
3. Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit receptacle.
4. Set the Auto/Off lever to "On" position.
