COMPRESSOR FEATURES

1)MOTOR/PRESSURE SWITCH: This switch is used to start or stop the air compressor. Moving the switch to the (On) position will provide automatic power to the pressure switch which will allow the motor to start when the air tank pressure is below the factory set cut-in pressure. When in the On Position,

the pressure switch stops the motor when the air tank pressure reaches the factory set cut-out pressure. For safety purposes, this switch also has a pressure release valve located on the side of the switch designed to automatically release compressed air from the air compressor pump head and its discharge line when the air compressor reaches cut-out pressure or is shut off. This allows the motor to restart freely. Moving the switch to the Off position will remove power from the motor and stop

the air compressor.

2)MOTOR THERMAL OVERLOAD: The electric motor has a thermal overload protector. If the motor overheats for any reason, the thermal overload will cut off power, thus preventing the motor from being damaged. Wait until the motor is cool. Motor has a circuit breaker. Reset switch if it is tripped.

3)AIR INTAKE FILTER: This filter is designed to clean air coming into the pump. To ensure the pump continually receives a clean, cool, dry air supply this filter must always be clean and ventilation opening free from obstructions. The filter can be removed for cleaning by using warm, soapy water. Rinse the filter and air dry.

4)AIR COMPRESSOR PUMP: To compress air, the piston moves up and down in the cylinder. On the downstroke, air is drawn in through the air intake valve while the exhaust valve remains closed. On the upstroke, air is compressed, the intake valve closes and compressed air is forced out through the exhaust valve, into the discharge line, through the check valve and into the air tank.

5)SAFETY RELIEF VALVE: This valve is designed to prevent system failures by relieving pressure from the system when the compressed air reaches a predetermined level. The valve is preset by the manufacturer and must not be modified in any way. To verify the valve is working properly, pull on the ring. Air pressure should escape. When the ring is released, it will reseat.

6)AIR TANK DRAIN VALVE: The drain valve is used to remove moisture from the air tank(s) after the air compressor is shut off. NEVER attempt to open the drain valve when more than 10 PSI of air pressure is in the air tank! To open the drain valve, turn the lever 1/4 turn. Tilt tank to ensure that all condensation drains

through valve.

7)AIR TANK PRESSURE GAUGE: The air tank pressure gauge indicates the reserve air pressure in the air tank (s).

8)OUTLET PRESSURE GAUGE: The outlet pressure gauge indicates the air pressure available at the outlet side of the regulator. This pressure is controlled by the regulator and is always less or equal to the air tank pressure.

9)PRESSURE REGULATOR: The air pressure coming from the air tank is

controlled by the regulator knob. Turn the pressure regulation knob clockwise to increase discharge pressure, and counterclockwise to decrease discharge pressure.

10)DISCHARGE LINE: Please note that the discharge line is very hot.

HOT SURFACES: Do not remove protective shroud. High temperature after sustained use.

11)DIPSTICK: The dipstick will measure the amount of oil in the pump. Oil level should be checked on a daily basis to ensure that it is between the minimum and maximum notch. Air escaping from the vent is normal.
