PACKAGE CONTENTS (CONTINUE)
A. ELECTRIC MOTOR: The motor is used to power the pump.
AIR COMPRESSOR PUMP: The pump is used to compress the air and discharge it into the
tank via the piston moving up and down in the cylinder.
B. ON/OFF SWITCH: This switch turns on the compressor and is operated manually. When in the
ON position, it allows the compressor to start up or shut down automatically, without warning,
upon air demand. ALWAYS set this switch to OFF when the compressor is not being used, and
before unplugging the compressor.
C. AIR LINE OUTLET: The outlet is used to connect 1/4 in. NPT air hose.
D. REGULATED PRESSURE GAUGE: The gauge is used to measure the regulated outlet
pressure.
E. TANK PRESSURE GAUGE: The gauge is used to measure the store air pressure level of the
tank. It is not adjustable by the operator, and does not indicate line pressure.
F. AIR PRESSURE REGULATOR: The regulator is used to adjust line pressure to the tool you are
using. Turn the knob clockwise to increase pressure and counterclockwise to decrease
pressure.
WARNING: Never exceed the maximum working pressure of the tool.
G. PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE: The valve is used to prevent system failures by relieving
pressure from the system. When the pressure reaches the preset level the pressure switch will
not shut down the motor, it will automatically pop open or you can pull the ring on the valve to
open.
H. AIR TANK: The tank is used to store the compressed air.
I. DRAIN VALVE: The drain valve is used to remove moisture from the air tank after the unit is
shut off.
WARNING: Never attempt to open the drain valve when the tank pressure is more than 10
PSI.
J. POWER CORD: This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and should be grounded. A
cord with a grounding plug must be used. Make sure the product is connected to an outlet
having the same configuration as the plug (see Figure 1). No adapter should be used with this
product.
Check with a licensed electrician if the grounding instructions are not understood, or if in doubt
as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit
the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a licensed electrician.
DANGER Improper installation of the grounding plug will result in a risk of electric shock. If
repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the grounding wire to either
flat blade terminal. The grounding wire is in the green outer surface
