Description of Operation
Become familiar with these controls
before operating the unit.

Switch
On/Auto(I)/Off(O) Switch: Turn this
switch "On/Auto(I)" to provide auto-
matic power to the pressure switch and
"Off(O)" 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" pres-
sure. 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 fac-
tory set pressure (slightly higher than
the pressure switch "cut-out" setting).
Tank Pressure Gauge: The tank
pressure gauge indicates the reserve
air pressure in the tank.
Globe Valve: Opens and closes air
discharge valve. Turn knob counter-
clockwise to open and clockwise to
close.

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.
Check Valve: When the air compres-
sor is operating, the check valve is
"open", allowing compressed air to
enter the air tank. When the air com-
pressor reaches "cut-out" pressure,
the check valve "closes", allowing air
pressure to remain inside the air tank.
