COMPATIBILITY
Air tools and accessories that are run off the compressor must be compatible
with petroleum-based products. If you suspect that a material is not compatible
with petroleum products, an air line filter for removal of moisture and oil vapor in
compressed air is required.
NOTE:
Always use an air line filter to remove moisture and oil vapor when
spraying paint.

Become familiar with these controls before operating the unit.
Auto (I)/Off (O) Switch (D):
Place this switch in the Auto
(I)
position to provide
automatic power to the pressure switch and Off
(O)
to remove power at the end of
each use.
Pressure Switch (E):
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 (F):
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).
Tank Pressure Gauge (G):
The tank pressure gauge indicates the reserve air
pressure in the tank.
Regulated Pressure Gauge (H):
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.
