The pressure switch (D) shuts down the motor and relieves air pressure in the pump and transfer
tube when the air pressure in the tank reaches the cut–out pressure. As compressed air is used and
the pressure level in the tank drops to the cut–in pressure, the pressure switch restarts the motor
automatically and the pump resumes compressing air.
COMPRESSOR CONTROLS
MAIN POWER DISCONNECT
Install a main power disconnect switch in the power line to the compressor, near the compressor’s
location for ease of use and safety. The disconnect switch functions are selected manually. When
the switch is in the ON position, power is supplied to the compressor. The pressure switch will start
up or shut down the compressor automatically, based on air demand. Always select OFF when the
compressor is not being used.
MOTOR RESET SWITCH
WARNING! Ensure that all guards and shrouds are in place before pressing the reset switch to
restart the motor. Exposed components are hazardous and
could cause a serious injury to the user.
Once TOPS
®
shuts the compressor down, allow the pump to cool
for 10 to 15 minutes. Press the reset switch to restart the motor.
Take precautions before pressing the switch, as the motor and
pump may suddenly start without warning.
A. PRESSURE
SWITCH
WARNING! The pressure switch is preset. Do not attempt to
tamper or adjust the setting.
The pressure switch controls the level of air pressure in the tank
by automatically starting and stopping the motor, as required to
maintain the factory preset pressure level. The pressure switch
also automatically bleeds pressure from the pump head when
the pump stops. This feature eliminates back pressure in the
pump, ensuring easier starting.
B.
PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
The air compressor is equipped with a safety-relief valve that is designed to discharge tank pressure
at a predetermined pressure setting. Check the pressure relief valve periodically by pulling on the
ring only when the tank pressure is completely drained.
The spring loaded valve should move freely within the pressure relief valve body. An inoperable
pressure relief valve could allow an excessive amount of tank pressure to build, causing the air tank
to catastrophically rupture or explode.
Do not tamper with or attempt to eliminate the safety relief valve.
C.
TANK PRESSURE GAUGE
This gauge measures the pressure level of the air stored in the tank. It is not adjustable by the
operator and does not indicate line pressure.
