COMPRESSOR FEATURES
1. AUTOMATIC ON/OFF PRESSURE SWITCH:
This compressor is equipped with an automatic
ON/OFF pressure switch. The compressor will only run when the switch is in ON/AUTO position.
Once the tank has reached the desired preset pressure (“cut-out” pressure), the pump motor will
automatically shut off. While the switch is in the ON/AUTO position, the pump motor will
automatically turn back on once the pressure in the tank drops below the minimum preset
pressure (“cut-in” pressure).
WARNING: Do not leave the compressor unattended while the power switch is in the
ON/AUTO position.
2. AIR TANK PRESSURE GAUGE:
The tank pressure gauge provides a reading of the air
pressure inside of the compressor tank.
3. OUTLET PRESSURE GAUGE:
The outlet pressure gauge provides a reading of the air
pressure at the outlet side of the regulator. This pressure is controlled by the pressure regulator
and is always less than or equal to the air tank pressure.
4. DUAL AIR COUPLERS:
The air couplers are preinstalled into standard 1/4” NPT (F) threads
in the pressure manifold. Use PTFE thread-sealing tape on the threads to make sure you have an
airtight connection when replacing quick connect couplers.
5. PRESSURE REGULATOR:
The regulator allows you to select the amount of air pressure that
is output through the air hose into tools and accessories. Turn the pressure regulator knob
clockwise to increase discharge pressure, and counter clockwise to decrease discharge pressure.
Please refer to the air delivery requirements of your tools for the proper pressure settings.
NOTICE:
Be careful not to over tighten pressure regulator knob when it “bottoms out” as this may
damage pressure regulator.
