Place this switch (A) in the ON position to provide automatic					B
power to the pressure switch and OFF to remove power at
the end of each use.
Pressure Switch
The Pressure Switch (I) 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
			J
reaches the factory set cut-outpressure.

Pressure Release Valve (NOT SHOWN)

The pressure release valve located on the side of the pressure switch, is designed to automatically release

compressed air from the compressor head and the outlet tube when the air compressor reaches cut-out pressure or is shut off. The pressure release valve allows the motor to restart freely. When the motor stops running, air will be heard escaping from this valve for a few seconds. No air should be heard leaking when the motor is running or after the unit reaches cut-out pressure.

Safety Valve G

If the Pressure Switch (I) does not shut off the air compressor at its cut-out pressure setting, the Safety Valve (G) will protect against high pressure by popping out at its factory set pressure (slightly higher than the pressure switch cut- out setting).

Check Valve

When the air compressor is operating, the check valve (F) is f open, allowing compressed air to enter the air tank. When the air compressor reaches cut-out pressure, the check valve closes, allowing air pressure to remain inside the air tank.

Universal Quick Connect BodY

The universal Quick Connect body (E) accepts the three most popular styles of Quick Connect

(E)plugs: Industrial, automotive, and ARO. One hand push-to-connect operation makes connections simple and easy.

Tank Pressure Gauge

The tank pressure gauge (B) indicates the reserve air pressure in the tank.

regulated Pressure Gauge

The outlet pressure gauge (C) indicates the air pressure available at the outlet side of the

regulator. This pressure is controlled by the C 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		Lock Collar
knob clockwise to increase pressure and
		D
counterclockwise to decrease pressure. When the

desired pressure is reached turn collar under knob against knob to lock in place.
