PRESSURE SWITCH | H | |
The pressure switch (H) automatically |

REGULATED PRESSURE GAUGE
The regulated pressure gauge (D) indicates the air pressure avail- able at the outlet side of the regulator. This pressure is controlled by the regulator and is always less than or equal to the tank pres- sure.
REGULATOR
The regulator (F) controls the air pressure shown on the regulated pressure gauge. Turn regulator knob clockwise to increase pres- sure and counterclockwise to decrease pressure.
UNIVERSAL QUICK CONNECT BODIES
The universal quick connect body (E) accepts the three most popular styles of quick connect plugs: Industrial, automotive, and ARO. One hand

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 until the compressor has raised the air tank pressure above that required at the air outlet.
