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 "cutout" 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: 

The tank 

pressure gauge indicates the reserve 

air pressure in the tank. 

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. 

Regulator Knob: 

Controls the air 

pressure shown on the outlet pressure 

gauge. Turn regulator knob clockwise 

to increase pressure and 

counterclockwise to decrease 

pressure.   

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. 

Air Compressor Pump (not 
shown): 

Compresses air into the air 

tank. Working air is not available until 

the compressor has raised the air tank 

pressure above that required at the air 

outlet. 

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. 

Check Valve: 

When the air 

compressor is operating, the check 

valve is "open", allowing compressed 

air to enter the air tank. When the air 

compressor reaches "cut-out" pressure, 

the check valve "closes", allowing air 

pressure to remain inside the air tank.
