Description of Operation
Become familiar with these controls before operating the unit.
Auto(I)/Off(0) Switch: Turn this switch in the "Auto (I)" position to provide auto- matic power to the pressure switch and "Off (O)" to remove power at the end of each use.
Pressure Switch: The pressure switch automatically starts the motor when the air tank pressure drops below the factory set
Safety Valve: If the pressure switch does not shut off the air compressor at its
Tank Pressure Gauge: The tank pressure gauge indicates the reserve air pres- sure in the tank.
Globe Valve/Air Discharge Valve: (sold separately, not shown) Opens and closes air distribution from compressor. See Air Distribution System paragraph under Installation.
Regulator (sold separately, not shown): An air pressure regulator or a separate air transformer which combines the functions of air regulation and/or moisture and dirt removal is recommended for most applications. See Air Distribution System paragraph under Installation
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 per- fectly normal for this fan to blow air through the vent holes in large amounts. You know that 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.
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.
