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 Safety ValveGlobe Valve at its “cut-out” pressure setting, the

safety valve will protect against high

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

Tank Pressure Gauge: The tank pressure gauge indicates the reserve air pressure in the tank.

Globe Valve (sold separately): Opens and closes air discharge valve. Turn knob counter-clockwise to open and clockwise to close.

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.

 

 

 

 

Air Compressor Pump (not shown):

not available until the compressor has raised the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

air tank pressure above that required at the air outlet.
