FEATURES
ON/OFF SWITCH
Place this switch (A) in the ON position to
provide automatic power to the pressure
switch and OFF to remove power at the
end of each use.

the air tank pressure reaches the factory set cut-out pressure.
PRESSURE RELEASE VALVE
The pressure release valve located on the side of the pressure switch, is
designed to automatically release compressed air from the compressor
head and the outlet tube when the air compressor reaches cut-out
pressure or is shut off. The pressure release valve allows the motor to
restart freely. When the motor stops running, air will be heard escaping
from this valve for a few seconds. No air should be heard leaking when
the motor is running or after the unit reaches cut-out pressure.

pressure drops below the
factory set cut-in pressure.
It stops the motor when
SAFETY VALVE
If the pressure switch does not shut off the air compressor at its
cut-out pressure setting, the safety valve (G) will protect against
high pressure by popping out at its factory set pressure (slightly
higher than the pressure switch cut-out setting).
CHECK VALVE
When the air compressor is operating, the check
valve (F) is open, allowing compressed air to enter
the air tank. When the air compressor reaches cut­
out pressure, the check valve closes, allowing air
pressure to remain inside the air tank.
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.
UNIVERSAL QUICK CONNECT BODIES (IF EQUIPPED)
The universal quick connect body (E) accepts the three most
popular styles of quick connect plugs: Industrial, automotive, and
ARO. One hand push-to-connect operation makes connections
simple and easy. The two quick connect bodies allow the use of two
tools at the same time.
