Become
familiar
with these controls
before
operating
the unit.
On/Auto(I)/
off(o)
On/Auto(I)/Off(O)
Switch:
Turn
this
switch
"On!Auto(t)"
to
provide
auto-
matic power to the pressure
switch and
"Off(O)" 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"
pres-
sure. tt 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 fac-
tory set pressure
(slightly
higher than
the pressure
switch
"cut-out"
setting).
Tank Pressure
Gauge:
The tank
pressure
gauge
indicates
the reserve
air pressure
in the tank.
Globe
Valve:
Opens
and closes
air
discharge
valve. Turn knob
counter-
clockwise
to open and c!ockwise
to
close.
Drain
Valve:
The drain valve is locat-
ed 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
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
(not 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.
Check
Valve:
When the air compres-
sor is operating,
the check
valve is
"open",
allowing
compressed
air to
enter the air tank.
When the air com-
pressor
reaches
"cut-out"
pressure,
the check
valve "closes",
allowing
air
pressure
to remain
inside
the air tank.
