Operation
Instructions for use
1.
Only use the compressor within the maximum allowed pressure of the compressor.
2.
The compressor is equipped with a thermal safety, this function prevents the compressor
from overheating, overheating causes permanent damage to your compressor.
3.
When the thermal safety switches on, never try to turn the compressor back on. The thermal
switch will automatically reset when the compressor is cooled down sufficiently, then you
can safely use the compressor again.
4.
It is strongly recommended to keep the engine of the vehicle running during use of the
compressor to prevent the battery from draining. The compressor will also perform better
with running engine.
5.
Always think about the MAXIMUM DUTY CYCLE, exceeding the maximum duty cycle or
maximum pressure will damage the compressor.
6.
Only use the compressor in well-vented environments.
Operation parts
1.
Pressure switch:
The pressure switch
will make the motor start automatically
when the pressure in the tank is lower
than the factory-set “cut-in” pressure
and will stop when pressure in the tank
reaches “cut-out” pressure.
2.
Safety valve:
When the pressure switch
fails to turn off the motor when the
tank reaches the “cut-out” pressure, the
safety valve will release air to prevent
the pressure from building up too much
in the compressor.
3.
Pressure meter tank:
Shows the air pressure inside the tank.
4.
Pressure meter outlet:
Shows the air pressure available from the outlet side of the regulator.
5.
Pressure regulator:
Used to set the pressure of the outlet. Turn the knob clockwise to set the
pressure higher, turn the knob anti-clockwise to lower the pressure on the outlet side. This is
useful when using air tools.
6.
One-way valve (not shown in picture):
When the pump is working the one-way valve opens
so air can flow into the tank. When the pump shuts off after reaching the “cut-out” pressure
the valve closes so the air is trapped inside the tank.
7.
Tire inflating gun:
The inflating gun is used for inflating tires and other objects with an
inflation valve. By squeezing the trigger on the gun, air is blown out of the gun, thereby
inflating the object.
Connecting the compressor to the battery
PAY ATTENTION! Keep the vehicle’s engine running when using the compressor to prevent the
battery from draining, also the compressor performs better with running engine.
