Outlet
Pressure
Gauge:
The outlet
pressure
gauge indicates the air
pressure available at the outlet side
of the regulator. This pressure is
controlled
by the regulator and is
always
less 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.
Pull 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.
On/Auto/Off
Switch:
Turn this
switch ON 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
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
factory set pressure (slightly higher
than the pressure switch "cut-out"
setting).
The drain
is located
at
the base of the
Drain
air tank and is
Valve
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 (net 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.
