COMPONENTS
PRESSURE SWITCH
Auto/Off Switch - In the AUTO position, the compressor shuts off automatically when tank pressure
reaches the maximum preset pressure. In the OFF position, the compressor will not operate. This
switch should be in the OFF position when connecting or disconnecting the power cord from the
electrical outlet or when changing air tools.
REGULATOR
The regulator controls the amount of air pressure released at the hose outlet.
SAFETY VALVE
This valve automatically releases air if the tank pressure exceeds the preset maximum.
DISCHARGE TUBE
This tube carries compressed air from the pump to the check valve. This tube becomes very hot
during use. To avoid the risk of severe burns, never touch the discharge tube.
CHECK VALVE
A one-way valve that allows air to enter the tank, but prevents air in the tank from flowing back
into the compressor pump.
HANDLE
Designed to move the compressor.
WARNING! Never use the handle on wheeled units to lift the unit completely off the ground.
DRAIN PETCOCK
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.
Reduce tank pressure below 10PSI, and then drain moisture from tank daily to avoid tank corrosion.
Drain moisture from tank by opening the drain petcock located underneath the tank.
LUBRICATION
This is an oil-free product and DOES NOT require lubrication to operate.
