Outlet Pressure Gauge |
|
|
|
The outlet pressure gauge (C) indi- |
|
|
|
cates the air pressure available at the |
|
|
|
outlet side of the regulator. This pres- | D |
|
|
sure 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 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.
Drain Valve |

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 until the compressor has raised the air tank pressure above that required at the air outlet.
Motor Overload Protector
The motor has an automatic reset 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 restart- ing. The compressor will automatically restart after the motor cools.
INSTALLATION
Assembly
Installing Hoses
Warning: Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp hose in hand when installing or disconnecting to prevent hose whip.
1.Ensure regulated pressure gauge reads 0 psi.
2.Grasp the hose at the quick connect plug and push the plug into the quick connect body (E).
3.Grasp the hose and pull to ensure coupler is seated.
Disconnecting Hoses
Warning: Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp hose in hand when installing or disconnecting to prevent hose whip.
1.Ensure regulated pressure gauge reads 0 psi.
2.Pull coupler on quick connect body back to release quick connect plug on hose.
