Know Your Air Compressor

READ THIS OWNER'S MANUAL AND SAFETY RULES BEFORE OPERATING
YOUR UNIT. Compare the illustrations with your unit to familiarize yourself with
the location of various controls and adjustments. Save this manual for future
reference.
B
Drain Valve (not shown): The
drain valve is located at the base
of the air tank and is used to drain
condensation at the end of each use.
Motor Thermal Overload Protector
(not shown): The electric motor
has an automatic thermal overload
protector. If the motor overheats for
any reason, the thermal overload
protector will shut off the motor. The
motor must be allowed to cool before
restarting.
ON/AUTO - OFF Switch (A): Turn
this switch ON to provide automatic
power to the pressure switch and
OFF to remove power at the end of
each use.
Air Intake Filter (not shown): This
filter is designed to clean air coming
into the pump. This filter must always
be clean and ventilation openings free
from obstructions. See Maintenance.
Air Compressor Pump (not shown):
Compresses air into the air tank.
Check Valve (not shown): 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.

C
Pressure Release Valve (not
shown): The pressure release valve
located on the side of the pressure
switch, is designed to automatically
release compressed air from the
compressor head and the outlet tube
when the air compressor reaches
"cut-out" pressure or is shut off.
The pressure release valve allows
the motor to restart freely. When
the motor stops running, air will be
heard escaping from this valve for a
few seconds. No air should be heard
leaking when the motor is running, or
continuous leaking after unit reaches
cut-out pressure.
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).
