Description of Operation

Become familiar with these controls before operating the unit.
On/Auto/Off Switch (A): Turn this
switch "ON/AUTO" to provide automatic
power to the pressure switch and "OFF"
to remove power at the end of each use.
Pressure Switch (B): The pressure
switch 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
reaches the factory set "cut-out"
pressure.
Safety Valve (C): If the pressure switch
does not shut off the air compressor at
its "cut-out" pressure setting, the safety valve will protect against high pressure
by "popping out" at its factory set pressure (slightly higher than the pressure
switch "cut-out" setting).
Outlet Pressure Gauge(D):
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
than or equal to the tank
pressure.
Tank Pressure Gauge(E): The tank pressure gauge indicates the reserve air
pressure in the tank.
Regulator (F): Controls the air pressure shown on the outlet pressure
gauge. 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.
Universal Quick-Connect Body (G): The universal quick-connect body
accepts the three most popular styles of quick-connect plugs- Industrial,
automotive (Tru-flate), and ARO. One hand push-to-connect operation makes
connections simple and easy. The two quick connect bodies allow the use of
two tools at the same time.
Remote Console (H): Permits remote air regulation and control closer to work
area, includes two high-flow industrial/automotive style compatible quick-
connects, outlet pressure gauge, and a high-flow regulator.
