reaches "cut-out" pressure.
PRESSURE SWITCH: The
pressure switch automatically
starts the motor when the air
tank pressure drops to the
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 or equal to the tank
pressure. See "Operating
Procedures".
TANK PRESSURE GAUGE: The
tank pressure gauge indicates
the air pressure in the tank.
REGULATOR: The air pressure
coming from the air tank is
controlled by the regulator knob.
Turn the knob clockwise to
increase pressure and counter-
clockwise to decrease pressure.
To avoid minor re-adjustment
after making a change in
pressure setting, always
approach the desired pressure
from a lower pressure. When
reducing from a higher to a lower
setting, first reduce to some
pressure less than desired
pressure. Depending on the air
requirements of each particular
accessory, the outlet regulated
air pressure may have to be
adjusted while you are operating
the accessory.
INSTALLATION AND
BREAK-IN
PROCEDURES
LOCATION OF THE AIR
COMPRESSOR
Locate the air compressor in a
clean, dry and well-ventilated
area. The air filter must be kept
clear of obstructions, which could
reduce air delivery of the air
compressor. The air compressor
should be located at least 12
inches away from the wall or
other obstructions that will
interfere with the flow of air. The
air compressor head and shroud
are designed to allow for proper
cooling. If humidity is high, an air
filter can be installed on the air
outlet adapter to remove
excessive moisture. Follow the
instructions packaged with the air
filter for proper installation.

LUBRICATION AND OIL

CAUTION: Do not attempt to
operate this air compressor
without first adding oil to the
crankcase. Serious damage will
result from even limited operation
unless filled with oil and broken
in correctly. Make sure to closely
follow initial start-up procedures.
Compressor oil is provided; on a
level surface, please fill the
crankcase to proper level
indicated on the sight glass.
WARNING: Compressors are
shipped without oil. A small
