Description of Operation
Become familiar with these controls before operating the unit.
On/Auto/Off Switch
: Turn this switch ON to provide automatic power to the
pressure switch and OFF to remove
power at the end of each use.
Pressure Switch:
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:
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:
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:
The tank pressure gauge indicates the reserve air
pressure in the tank.
Regulator:
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:
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.
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.
Cooling System (not shown)
: This compressor
contains an advanced design cooling system. At
the heart of this cooling system is an engineered
fan. It is perfectly normal for this fan to blow air
through the vent holes in large amounts. You know that the cooling system is
working when air is being expelled.
