Know Your Air Compressor
READ THIS OWNER'S MANUAL AND SAFETY RULES BEFORE OPERATING
YOUR UNIT. Compare the illustrations with your unit to familiarize yourself with
the location of various controls and adjustments. Save this manual for future
reference.
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" pres-
sure. 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 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
shown on the outlet pressure gauge.
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.
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 engi-
neered 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.
