WARNING!
Use the red knob to turn the unit on and off, not the mains
switch. Turning the unit on and off from the mains only will
result in damage to the motor.
The pressure in the tank is controlled by the action of the pressure
switch located under the pressure switch cover.
When the set maximum pressure is reached the pressure switch
activates and the motor is turned off. The pressure will then de-
crease as the air is used until the set minimum is reached after
which the pressure switch turns the motor on again.
The operator of the compressor should be well aware that during
use of the compressor the motor will cycle (start and stop) under
the influence of the rising or falling pressure in the tank and the
motor will start without any warning.The maximum and minimum
pressures are factory set and should not be altered.
You can utilize either the direct outlet and/or the regulated outlet.
