1. 

Belt Guard

 - The Belt Guard encloses the pulleys and drive belts. 

It protects the user from the moving parts and allows the 

large pulley to direct cooling air to the Air Pump.

2. 

Oil Sight Glass - 

The oil sight glass shows proper level of 

the oil. Oil level should be at center of Sight Glass.

3. 

Tank Drain Valve -

 The Air Tank Drain Valve allows moisture 

to be removed from the tank to prevent corrosion.

4. 

Safety Valve -

 The Safety Valve automatically releases air if the Air 

Tank pressure exceeds the preset maximum. In an emergency, the 

ring can be pulled to relieve tank air pressure. There is one 

safety valve on the pump and one on the tank.

5. 

Air Outlet -

 An air hose attaches to this valve. Air pressure required by 

tools is set by an air pressure regulator.

6. 

Air Storage Tank -

 The Air Tank is where air 

pressurized by the Air Pump is stored for use.

7. 

Tank pressure Gauge -

 The Air Tank Pressure 

Gauge displays the air pressure in the tank.

8. 

pilot Valve -

  Open the Pilot Valve before starting the engine.  

It relieves resistance on the engine to make starting possible. 

Rotate the pin so it is vertical to open it. Once the engine is running, 

close the Pilot Valve so the Compressor can build up pressure.
