Handle: Convenient, rubber gripped handle allows for easy transport of your air compressor.

Air Regulator: The air regulator controls the air flow pressure. Turn regulator clockwise to increase air pressure, counter-clockwise to decrease air pressure.

Air Chuck: Convenient quick disconnect air chuck allows for fast easy connection to an air hose. Tank Drain Valve: The Tank Drain Valve can be opened to allow moisture and compressed air to be released from the Air Tank.

WARNING! Tank Drain Valve should always be opened slowly to avoid damage to equipment and possible injury.

Air Filter: This heavy duty metal air filter keeps your compressor running cleanly, by filtering out impurities.

Oil Breather Cap: As the compressor motor operates pressurized air must be released from the crank case. The oil breather cap allows built up air to escape, while shielding your air compressor from airborne impurities.

Power Switch: The red tipped power switch turns the air compressor on and off. When switch is pulled up, compressor is turned ON. When switch is pushed down, compressor is turned OFF.

Note: Always make sure that compressor Power

Switch is in the OFF position before performing any maintenance or plugging the compressor into a power supply.

Pressure Gauges: These dual gauges indicate the amount of air pressure built up in the air tank, as well as the air pressure being delivered to the air chuck.

Safety Valve: The Safety Valve device relieves pressure from the Air Tank in the event of excessive pressure build up. The Safety Valve is preset at factory. Do not attempt to make any adjustments to the Safety Valve. Periodically pull the ring on the Safety Valve end to check that it is working properly. Air Tanks: Two powder coated steel tanks, with a 4 gallon capacity, stores the compressed air until it is needed.
