ING IN COMPLETE MOTOR BURN-UP.
The Compressor should be started and stopped with the ON/OFF switch ONLY. Never unplug the compressor while
the unit is running. Never plug the unit in unless the power switch is in the off position.
START STOP CONTROL
When the pressure in the tank reaches a designated low level, the pressure switch starts the motor. When the pres-

To increase pressure setting out of storage tank, simply lift up on outside of regulator (yellow adjusting knob) and turn
clockwise until desired pressure is reached. Push outside of knob back down to lock adjustment in place.
