Risk of Explosion or fire Never operate the compressor near combustible materials, gasoline 

or solvent vapors. If spraying flammable materials, locate the air 

compressor at least 50m away from the spray area. Never operate the 

air compressor indoors or in a confined area.

Risk of Bursting

Always drain the air compressor tank daily or after each use. If the 

tank develops a leak, then replace the air compressor. Never use 

the air compressor after a leak has been found or try to make any 

modifications to the tank. Never modify the air compressor’s factory 

settings which control the tank pressure or any other function.

PARTS & FEATURES

Drain Valve:

 Used to drain condensation from 

the air tank. Located at bottom of tank. (52)

Motor Thermal Overload:

 The motor has an 

automatic thermal overload protector. If the 

motor overheats, this protector will shut off the 

motor. The motor must be allowed 30 minutes to 

cool before restarting.

Pressure Switch:

 This controls the power to 

the motor and also the cut-in/cut-out pressure 

settings. This switch serves as the Auto-On/Off 

positions for the unit. (45)

Air Intake Filter

: Provides clean air to the pump 

and must always be kept free of debris. Check 

on a daily basis or before each use. (38)

Check Valve:

 When the pump is not in 

operation the valve closes to retain air pressure 

inside the tank. (60)

Pressure Relief Valve:

 The pressure relief 

valve located on the side of the pressure switch 

is designed to automatically release compressed 

air when the air compressor reaches cut-out 

pressure. The release air should only escape 

momentarily and the valve should then close.

Tank Safety Valve:

 Used to allow excess tank 

pressure to escape into the atmosphere. This 

valve should only open when the tank pressure 

is above the maximum rated pressure. (46)

Outlet Pressure Gauge:

 Indicates the outgoing 

air pressure to the tool and is controlled by the 

regulator. (42)

Tank Pressure Gauge:

 Indicates the reserve air 

pressure in the tank. (43)

Regulator:

 The regulator controls the air 

pressure coming from the air tank. To increase 

the pressure, turn the knob clockwise and 

to decrease the pres¬sure turn the knob 

counterclockwise. (41)
