CHECK VALVE
When the air compressor is operating, the check
valve (F) 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.
TANK PRESSURE GAUGE
The tank pressure gauge (B) indi-cates the reserve air pressure in the
tank.
OUTLET PRESSURE GAUGE
The outlet pressure
B
gauge (C) 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.
REGULATOR
The regulator (D) controls the air pressure shown on the outlet
pressure gauge. Turn regulator knob clockwise to increase pressure
and counterclockwise to decrease pressure.
UNIVERSAL QUICK CONNECT BODIES (IF EQUIPPED)
The universal quick connect body (E) 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. The two quick connect bodies allow the use of two tools at the
same time.
DRAIN VALVE
The drain valve (H) is located at the
base of the air tank and is used to drain
condensation at the end of each use. See
F
Draining Air Tank under Maintenance.
COOLING SYSTEM
This compressor contains an advanced design cooling system. It is
normal for this fan to blow air through the vent holes in large amounts.
The cooling system is working when air is expelled.
AIR COMPRESSOR PUMP
The pump compresses air into the air tank. Working air is not available
C
until the compressor has raised the air tank pressure above that
required at the air outlet.

MOTOR OVERLOAD PROTECTOR
(not shown)
This motor has a manual thermal overload protector. If the motor
E
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. Ensure the On/Off switch (A) is in the OFF position and unplug
unit.
2. Allow the motor to cool.
3. Plug the power cord into an appropriate electrical outlet
4. Set the Auto/Off switch to the "ON" position.
