Description of Operation
Become familiar with these controls
before operating the unit.
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 wil! 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 outtet
pressure gauge indicates the air
pressure avaiIable 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 outiet pressure gauge.
Turn the knob clockwise to increase
pressure and counterclockwise to
decrease pressure.
Drain VaBve: The drain valve is
located at the base of the air tank
and is used to drain condensation at
the end of each use.
CooBing 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.
