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.
Motor Overload Protector (not shown): The motor has an automatic reset
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. The compressor will automatically restart after the motor cools.
Quick-Connect Coupler: The quick connect coupler accepts industrial quick
connect plugs. The two quick connect couplers allow the use of two tools at the
same time.

NOTE: The hose or accessory will require a quick connect plug if the air outlet is
equipped with a quick connect socket.
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 outlet pressure must never exceed the
maximum pressure rating.
Risk of property damage. Compressed air from the unit may
contain wa ter condensation and oil mist. Do not spray un fil tered air at an item
that could be damaged by moisture. Some air tools and accessories may require
filtered air. Read the in struc tions for the air tools and accessories.
