KNOW YOUR AIR COMPRESSOR
See Figure 2.
Before attempting to use this product, familiarize yourself with all
operating features and safety rules.
OIL-FREE UNIVERSAL MOTOR
Your air compressor features permanently lubricated bearings.
ON/OFF POWER SWITCH
This switch is used to start or stop the air compressor. Moving
the switch to the (ON) position will provide automatic power to
the pressure switch which will allow the motor to start when the
air tank pressure is below the factory set cut-in pressure. When
in the (ON) position, the pressure switch stops the motor when
the air tank pressure reaches the factory set cut-out pressure. For
safety purposes, this switch also has a pressure release valve
located on the side of the switch designed to automatically release
compressed air from the air compressor pump head and its
discharge line when the air compressor reaches cut-out pressure
or is shut off. This allows the motor to restart freely. Moving the
switch to the (OFF) position will remove power from the motor and
stop the air compressor.
MOTOR THERMAL OVERLOAD
The electric motor has a thermal overload protector. If the motor
overheats for any reason, the thermal overload will cut off power,
thus preventing the motor from being damaged. Wait until the
motor is cool. Motor resets automatically.
AIR INTAKE FILTER
This filter is designed to clean air coming into the pump. To ensure
the pump continually receives a clean, cool, dry air supply this
filter must always be clean and ventilation opening free from
obstructions.
AIR COMPRESSOR PUMP
To compress air, the piston moves up and down in the cylinder.
On the down stroke, air is drawn in through the air intake valve
while the exhaust valve remains closed. On the upstroke, air is
compressed, the intake valve closes and compressed air is forced
out through the exhaust valve, into the discharge line, through the
check valve and into the air tank.
SAFETY VALVE
This valve is designed to prevent system failures by relieving
pressure from the system when the compressed air reaches a
predetermined level. The valve is preset by the manufacturer and
must not be modified in any way. To verify the valve is working
properly, pull on the ring. Air pressure should escape. When the
ring is released, it will reset.
DRAIN VALVE
The drain valve is used to remove moisture from the air tank after
the air compressor is shut off.
TANK PRESSURE GAUGE
The tank pressure gauge indicates the pressure of the air in the tank.
REGULATOR PRESSURE GAUGE
The current line pressure is displayed on the regulator pressure gauge.
This pressure can be adjusted by rotating the pressure regulator knob.
PRESSURE REGULATOR KNOB
Use the pressure regulator knob to adjust the amount of air being
delivered through the hose.
The air pressure coming from the air tank is controlled by the
regulator knob. Turn the pressure regulation knob clockwise to
increase discharge pressure, and counterclockwise to decrease
discharge pressure. Follow tool operating instructions for
recommended pressure range.
