Operating Instructions and Parts List
Introduction
R efer to Figure 3 to locate the
following items.
ON / OFF Switch ( I / O ) -
Push
switch to the ON (
I
) position to turn
compressor on. Push switch to the OFF
(
O
) position to turn compressor off.
This switch should be in the OFF (
O
)
position when connecting /
disconnecting power cord from
electrical outlet or when changing
tools.
Pressure Switch (located
internally)-
When the compressor
is turned ON, this switch will shut
compressor off automatically when
tank pressure reaches maximum shut-
off / cut-out pressure. If compressor
remains on and air is depleted from
tank, this switch will allow compressor
to automatically restart at the restart /
cut-in pressure.
Drain Valve -
This valve is located on
the bottom of the tank. Use this valve
to drain moisture from the tank daily
to reduce the risk of corrosion.
Motor Reset
- (not shown, located
inside motor). Designed to keep the
motor from overheating. The motor
has a self-hold protector. If the unit
is over worked, a thermal limiter will
shut unit off. If it happens, switch the
unit to the OFF position and unplug
the unit. Wait 30 minutes, plug the
unit in and switch the unit to the
ON position again to resume work.
This compressor is
equipped with an
overload protector which will shut off
motor if it becomes overloaded.
If the overload
protector is
actuated, the motor must be allowed
to cool down for approximately 30
minutes before it will reset.
Regulator -
The regulator controls
the amount of air pressure released at
the hose outlet. Turning the regulator
knob clockwise (to the right) will
increase air pressure at the outlet.
Turning the knob counter-clockwise
(to the left) will lower air pressure to
the outlet. Turning knob fully counter-
clockwise will shut off flow of air
completely.
Pressure Gauges -
There are two
gauges located next to the regulator.
These gauges read air pressure in
pounds per square inch (psi) The larger
gauge shows pressure at the outlet.
Make sure this gauge reads ZERO
(by adjusting the regulator) BEFORE
changing air tools or disconnecting
hose from outlet. The small gauge
shows pressure in the tank indicating
compressor is building pressure
properly.
ASME Safety Valve -
This valve
automatically releases air if the tank
pressure exceeds the preset maximum.
Handle -
Designed to move the
compressor.
