Description
The Campbell Hausfeld portable
contractor air compressor is intended for
use in construction and workshop
conditions. An oil lubricated, electric
motor driven compressor provides
compressed air to power nailers, staplers,
paint guns and other air tools. The
compressed air produced by the unit will
contain traces of oil and water. In-line
filters may be required for some
applications.
A pressure switch shuts off the
compressor when the tank is filled to 125
PSI. When air is used and the tank
pressure drops to 100 PSI, the compressor
will restart automatically. The regulator
may be set to provide a line pressure
lower than the tank pressure.
The valve on the compressor outlet
fitting vents air for ease in motor startup.
The sound of vented
NOTICE
air is especially
noticeable when the tank pressure is low
and is not a defect.
The pressure switch also has an unloader
valve to vent air when the compressor
stops.
