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. PRESSURE SWITCH:
This switch turns the compressor on and off. It is operated manually and when it is in the
ON position, it allows the motor to start if the pressure in the air tank is below the factory set cut-in pressure,
and allows the motor to stop if the pressure in the air tank reaches the factory set cut-out pressure. Be sure
to set this switch to the OFF position 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 counter-clockwise to decrease the pressure.
[
WARNING!
Do not exceed the tool’s maximum working 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.
[
WARNING!
Do not attempt to open the drain valve when there is more than
10 PSI of air pressure in the tank.
J. AIR TANK:
The tank is where the compressed air is stored.

A. ELECTRIC MOTOR:
The motor is used to power the pump. It is equipped with at 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.
