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.
FEATURES
AUTO (-) / OFF (O) SWITCH
Place this switch (B) in the AUTO (-) position to
provide automatic power to the pressure switch
and OFF(O) to remove power at the end of each
use. NOTE: ALWAYS ensure the switch (B) is in the
OFF (O) position before removing or replacing
pressure switch cover.
PRESSURE SWITCH
The pressure switch (B) 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
pressure.
SAFETY VALVE
This valve (G) is designed to prevent system
failures by relieving pressure from the system
when the compressed air reaches a predeter-
mined level. The valve is preset by the manu-
facturer and must not be removed or modified
in any way.
CHECK VALVE
When the air compressor is operating, the
check valve (K) 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.
AIR INTAKE FILTER
The filter (A) are designed to clean air entering the
pump. To ensure the pump continually receives a
clean, cool, and dry air supply the filter must always
be clean and the filter intake must be free from
B
obstructions.
AIR TANK 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
Draining Air Tank under Maintenance.
REGULATED PRESSURE GAUGE
The regulated pressure gauge (D)
indicates the air pressure available at
the outlet side of the regulator. This
pressure is controlled by the regulator
and is always less or equal to the air
G
tank pressure.
TANK PRESSURE GAUGE
The tank pressure gauge (C) indicates
the reserve air pressure in the tank.
UNIVERSAL QUICK CONNECT BODY
The universal quick connect body (L) accepts the three most popular
K
styles of quick connect plugs: Industrial, automotive, and ARO. One
hand push-to-connect operation makes connections simple and easy.
