SAFETY VALVE

If the Pressure Switch (H) 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 (H) cut-out setting).

CHECK VALVE

When the air compressor is operating, the check valve is 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.

TANK PRESSURE GAUGE

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

REGULATED PRESSURE GAUGE

The regulated pressure gauge (D) indicates the air pressure available at the outlet side of the Regulator (F). This pressure is controlled by the Regulator (F).

REGULATOR

The regulator (F) controls the air pressure shown on the Regulated Pressure Gauge (D).

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. The regulated pressure range is 7–150 psi.

Risk of Bursting. Too much air pressure causes a hazardous risk of bursting. Check the manufacturer’s maximum pressure rating for air tools and accessories. The Regulator

(F)outlet pressure setting must never exceed the maximum pressure rating of the tool or accessory.

UNIVERSAL QUICK CONNECT BODY

The universal quick connect body (E) accepts the three most popular styles of quick connect plugs: Industrial, automotive, and ARO. One hand push-to-connect operation makes connec- tions simple and easy. The two quick connect bodies allow the use of two tools at the same time.

DRAIN VALVE

The drain valve (M) is located at the base of the air tank and is used to drain condensation at the

end of each use. See Draining Air Tank under Maintenance.

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.

AIR INTAKE FILTER

The filter (J) is designed to clean air entering the pump. To ensure the pump continually receives a clean, cool, and dry air supply the filter must always be clean and the filter intake must be free from obstructions.

MOTOR OVERLOAD PROTECTOR

The motor has a 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 restarting. To restart:

1.Set the Auto/Off lever to Off and unplug unit.

2.Allow the motor to cool.

3.Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit receptacle.

4.Set the Auto/Off lever to AUTO position.
