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.
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 "cut­out" pressure, the
check valve "closes", allowing air pressure to remain inside the air tank.
Pressure Release Valve: 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 after the unit
reaches "cut-out" pressure.
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.
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 obstruc-
tions. See Maintenance.
HOW TO USE YOUR UNIT
How to Stop
Set the auto/off switch to "off".
Before Starting
Do not operate this unit until you read this instruction manual
for safety, operation and maintenance instructions.
Before Each Start-Up
1. Set the auto/off switch to "off".
2. Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit receptacle. (Refer to Voltage
and Circuit Protection paragraph in the Installation section of this manual.)
3. Pull the regulator knob out and turn counterclockwise to set the outlet pressure
to zero.
4. attach hose and accessories.
Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp air hose in hand when
installing or disconnecting to prevent hose whip.
Risk of unsafe operation. Do not use damaged or worn
accessories.
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.
