Glossary of Terms / Getting to Know your Compressor
Pressure Switch - AUTO/OFF Switch -
In the AUTO position, the compressor
shuts off automatically when tank
pressure reaches the maximum preset
pressure� In the OFF position, the
compressor will not operate� This switch
should be in the OFF position when
connecting or disconnecting the power
cord from the electrical outlet or when
changing air tools�
Regulator - The regulator controls the
amount of air pressure released at the
hose outlet�
Discharge Tube - This tube carries
compressed air from the pump to the
check valve� This tube becomes very hot
during use� To avoid the risk of severe
burns, never touch the discharge tube�
ASME Safety Valve - This valve
automatically releases air if the tank
pressure exceeds the preset maximum�
Check Valve - One-way valve that allows
air to enter the tank, but prevents air
in the tank from flowing back into the
compressor pump�
Tank Drain - This valve is located on
the bottom of the tank� Use this valve
to drain moisture from the tank daily to
reduce the risk of corrosion�
Reduce tank pressure below 10 psi by
pulling the safety valve, then drain
moisture from tank� Drain daily to avoid
tank corrosion�
