DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
Air Compressor Pump: To compress air, the piston moves up
and down in the cylinder. On the downstroke, air is drawn in
through the air intake muffler (valves). The exhaust valve
remains closed. Onthe upstroke ofthepiston, air is compressed.
The intake valves close and compressed air is forced out
through the exhaust valve and then through the air hose.
Adjustable Pressure Valve: The pressure valve controls the
amount of pressure going from the air compressor to the acces-
sory. The pressure adjusting valve c9i2,, be used to set approxi-
mate pressure between 10 and 125P. S.I. (125 P.S.I. is the highest
pressure this compressor will deliver).
Accumulator Tank (not included on some models): Your
accumulator tank is equipped with a relief (pop-off) valve to
prevent an over pressure condition in the tank. This 2 gallon
tank is not designed to store air, but rather to provide the
additional volume of compressed air necessary to operate a
wide variety of air tools. When starting your compressor, attach
the tool to the hose, set the pressure adjusting valve at the
required pressure, wait a few moments until the tank fills with
air. You will know the tank is filled when you hear air bleeding
through the pressure adjusting valve. Depending on the type
and size of tool being used, you will occasionally need to wait
for the tank to refill before continuing. When you are finsihed
or changing tools, turn the compressor switch off and set the
pressure adjusting valve to 10 PSI and wait for the tank to
discharge completely.
ALWAYS SET THE PRESSURE VALVE AT OR
BELOW THE REQUIRED PRESSURE FOR
THE ACCESSORY BEING USED BEFORE
STARTING YOUR COMPRESSOR, FOR IN=
FLATION OR OTHER USES REQUIRING AC-
CURATE PRESSURE, USE A PRESSURE
GAUGE.
