Regulated Pressure Gauge (H): 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.
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 (J): 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.
Drain Valves (K): A drain valve is located at the base of the each air tank and is used
to drain condensation at the end of each use.
Check Valve (L): When the air compressor is operating, the check valve is "open",
allowing compressed air to enter the air tank. When the air compressor reaches
"cut-out" pressure, the check valve "closes", allowing air pressure to remain inside
the air tank.
Motor Overload Protector (not shown): The motor has a thermal overload
protector. If the motor overheats for any reason, the overload protector will shut off
the motor. The motor must be allowed to cool down before restarting. To restart:
1. Set the Auto/Off lever to "Off" and unplug unit.
2. Allow the motor to cool.
3. Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit receptacle.
4. Set the Auto/Off lever to "Auto" position.
Universal Quick Connect Body (M): The universal quick connect body accepts the
three most popular styles of quick connect plugs: Industrial, automotive, and ARO.
One hand push-to-connect operation makes connections simple and easy.
Regulator (N): Controls the air pressure shown on the outlet pressure gauge. Pull
the regulator knob out to unlock and turn the knob clockwise to increase pressure
and counterclockwise to decrease pressure. When the desired pressure is reached
push the knob in to lock the regulator in place.
Air Intake Filter (P): This filter is designed to clean air coming into the pump. This
filter must always be clean and ventilation openings free from obstructions. See
Maintenance.
Dipstick (Q) (not shown): Indicates the amount of oil in the pump, MAX indicates
full and MIN indicates oil needs to be added. See Pump Oil paragraphs in the
Maintenance section for instructions.
Oil Drain Plug (R) (not shown): See Pump Oil paragraphs in the Maintenance
section for instructions on how to change the pump oil.
Pressure Release Valve (not shown): The pressure release valve located on the
side of the pressure switch, is designed to automatically release compressed air
from the compressor head and the outlet tube when the air compressor reaches
"cut-out" pressure or is shut off. The pressure release valve allows the motor to
restart freely. When the motor stops running, air will be heard escaping from this
valve for a few seconds. No air should be heard leaking when the motor is running,
or continuous leaking after unit reaches "cut-out" pressure.
HOW TO USE YOUR UNIT (FIG. 4)
