Know Your Air Compressor

READ THIS OWNER’S MANUAL AND SAFETY RULES BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT. Compare the illustra- tions 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” pressure. 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 factory set pressure (slightly high- er than the pressure switch “cut-out” setting).

Outlet Pressure Gauge: The outlet pressure gauge indicates the air pressure available at the outlet side of the regulator. This pressure is controlled by the reg- ulator 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 counterclockwise to decrease pressure. When the desired pressure is reached push knob in to lock in place.

Drain Valve: The drain valve is located at the base of the air tank and is used to drain condensa-

Drain

tion at the end of each Valve use.

Cooling System (not shown): This compressor con- tains an advanced design cooling system. At the heart of this cooling system is an engineered fan. It is per- fectly 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.

Air Compressor Pump (not shown): Compresses air into the air tank. Working air is not available until the compressor has raised the air tank pressure above that required at the air outlet.

Check Valve: When the air compressor is operating, the check valve is “open”, allow- ing 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.
