Description of Operation
Become familiar with these controb
before operating the unit.
On/Auto/Off Switch: Turn this switch
"On/Auto" to provide automatic
power to the pressure switch and
"Off" 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"
pressure, it stops the motor when the
air tank pressure reaches the factory
set "cut-out" pressure.
Safety Vamve: 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 availabb at the outlet side
of the reguIaton This pressure is
controlled by the regulator and is
always Iess than or equal to the tank
pressure.
Tank Pressure Gauge: The tank
pressure gauge indicates the reserve
air pressure in the tank.
Regulator: Controls the air pressure
shown on the outlet pressure
gauge. Pul! the knob out and turn
clockwise to increase pressure
and counterclockwise to decrease
pressure. When the desired pressure
is reached push knob in to lock in
place.
Drain
Valve: The
drain valve
is Iocated
at the base
of the air
tank and
is 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 norma! for this fan
to bIow air through the vent hotes
in large amounts. You know that the
cooling system is working when air is
being expelled.
