FEATURES (FIG. 1)

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.

ON(I)/OFF(O) SWITCH

Place this switch (A) in the ON (I) position to provide automatic power to the pressure switch and OFF (O) to remove power at the end of each use.

PRESSURE SWITCH (NOT SHOWN)

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 (F) will protect against high pressure by “popping out” at its factory set pressure (slightly higher than the pressure switch “cut-out” setting).

CHECK VALVE (NOT SHOWN)

When the air compressor is operating, the check valve 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) indicates the reserve air pressure in the tank.

REGULATED PRESSURE GAUGE

The regulated pressure gauge (C) indicates the air pressure available at the outlet side of the regulator. This pressure is controlled by the regulator.

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.

QUICK CONNECT BODIES

The quick connect body (E) accepts industrial quick connect plugs. The two quick connect bodies allow the use of two tools at the same time.

DRAIN VALVE

The drain valve (G) 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.

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.

AIR COMPRESSOR PUMP (NOT SHOWN)

The pump 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.

MOTOR OVERLOAD PROTECTOR (NOT SHOWN)

The motor has a thermal overload protector. If the motor overheats for any reason, the overload protector will shut off the motor. The motor must be allowed to cool down before restarting. To restart:
