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 pressure (slightly higher than the pressure

"popping out" at its factory set 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 regulator 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.

Universal Quick-Connect Body: The universal quick-connect body accepts the three most popular styles of quick-connect plugs- Industial, automotive (Tru-flate), and ARO. One hand push-to-connect operation makes connections simple and easy. The two quick connect bodies allow the use of two tools at the same time.

Drain Valve: The drain valve is located at the base of the air tank and is used to drain condensation at the end of each use.

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 over the pump head, clylinder sleeve, and crankcase. You know 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.
