B. AIR COMPRESSOR PUMP:
The pump compresses the air and discharges it into the tank via the piston
that moves up and down in the cylinder.
C. ON/OFF SWITCH:
This switch turns on the compressor and is operated manually. When in the ON
position, it allows the operated manually. When in the ON demand. ALWAYS set this switch to OFF when the
compressor is not being used and before unplugging the compressor.
D. SAFETY VALVE:
This valve is used to prevent system failure by draining pressure from the system when
it reaches a preset level if the pressure switch has not shut down the motor. It will pop open automatically,
or it can be activated manually by pulling the ring on the valve.
E. AIR PRESSURE REGULATOR:
The regulator is used to adjust the pressure inside the line to the tool that
is being used. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the pressure and counterclockwise to decrease the
pressure.
F. TANK PRESSURE GAUGE:
The gauge measures the pressure level of the air that is stored in the tank.
It cannot be adjusted by the operator and it does not indicate the pressure inside the line.
G. OUTLET PRESSURE GAUGE:
The gauge measures the regulated outlet pressure.
H. AIR OUTLET:
The outlet is connected to the 1/4” (6.4 mm) NPT air hose.
I. AIR TANK DRAIN VALVE:
The drain valve is used to remove moisture from the air tank after the
compressor is shut off.
J. AIR TANK:
The tank is where the compressed air is stored.
K. POWER CORD:
This compressor should be used on a nominal 120 V grounded circuit. Use a power cord
that is equipped with a grounding plug. Verify that the compressor is plugged into an outlet that has the same
configuration as the plug. Do not use an adapter with this compressor.
A. ELECTRIC MOTOR:
The motor is used to power the pump. It is equipped with a thermal overload protector.
If the motor overheats for any reason, the thermal overload protector will shut it down in order to prevent
the motor from being damaged.
