Description of Operation
Become familiar with these controls
before operating the unit.
Auto(I)/Off(O) Switch: Place this
switch in the "Auto (I)" position to pro-
vide automatic 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" pressure. It stops
the motor when the air tank pressure
reaches the factory set "cut-out" pres-
sure.
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).
Outlet Pressure Gauge: The outlet
pressure gauge indicates the air pres-
sure 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

Pull the knob out and turn clockwise
to increase pressure and counter-
clockwise to decrease pressure. When
the desired pressure is reached push
knob in to lock in place.
Universal Quick-connect Body: The
universal quick-connect body accepts
the three most popular styles of quick-
connect plugs- Industrial, automotive
(Tru-flate), and ARO. One hand push-
to-connect operation makes connec-
tions simple and easy.
Drain Valve: The drain valve is located
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.
