Operating Instructions
Introduction
Refer to Figure 1 to locate the following
items .
Pressure switch -
Auto/Off Switch - In
the AUTO position, the compressor
shuts off automatically when tank
pressure reaches the maximum preset
pressure . After air is used from the tank
and drops to a preset low level, the
pressure switch automatically turns the
motor back on . 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 .
When the pressure switch turns the
motor off you will hear air leaking out
of the pressure switch unloader valve
for a short time . This releases the air
pressure from the discharge tube and
allows the compressor to restart easier .
Regulator -
The regulator controls the
amount of air pressure released at the
hose outlet .
Assembly
HANDLE ASSEMBLY - Handle may be
pre-assembled on some units .
Insert four handle screws through holes
in handle and tighten to tank baseplate
(See Figure 2) .
FOOT ASSEMBLY
The items marked with an asterisk (*)

2 . Insert bolt through foot and bracket .
The foot should be on the lower side
of bracket .
3 . Tightly secure with the lock nut .
Repeat on opposite side .
ASMe Safety Valve -
This valve
automatically releases air if the tank
pressure exceeds the preset maximum .
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 .
To avoid the risk of
severe burns, never
touch the discharge tube.
Check valve -
One-way valve that
allows air to enter the tank, but

damage could occur from contact with
moving parts.
Tank Drain Valve -
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,
before opening drain valve .
Tank Pressure Gauge -
Indicates
amount of air pressure stored in tank .
hose Pressure Gauge -
Indicates
amount of air pressure in hose used to
operate tools . This pressure is increased
or decreased by the regulator .
