Description
A
AUTO/OFF Switch:
Turn this switch in the “AUTO ( I )” position to provide automatic power to the
pressure switch and “OFF ( O )” to remove power at the end of each use.
B
Safety Valve: (not shown)
If the pressure switch does not shut off the air compressor at its “cut-out”
pressure setting, the safety valve will protect against high pressure by “popping out” at its factory set
pressure (slightly higher than the pressure switch “cut-out” setting).
C
Tank Pressure Gauge:
The tank pressure gauge indicates the reserve air pressure in the tank.
D
Air Compressor Pump:
Compresses air into the air tank. Working air is not available until the
compressor has raised the air tank pressure above that required at the air outlet.
E
Drain Valve
: The drain valve is located at the base of the air tank and is used to drain condensation at
the end of each use.
F
Check Valve:
When the air compressor is operating, the check valve is “open”, allowing compressed
air to enter the air tank. When the air compressor reaches “cut-out” pressure, the check valve “closes”,
allowing air pressure to remain inside the air tank.
G
Thermal Overload Reset: (not shown) This motor has an automatic thermal overload protector
. If
the motor overheats for any reason, the overload protector will shut off the motor. The motor must be
allowed to cool down before restarting. To restart:
1. Place the AUTO/OFF switch in the “OFF” ( O ) position and unplug the machine from its power source.
2. Allow the motor to cool.
3. Place the AUTO/OFF switch in the “AUTO” ( I ) position to restart the motor.
H
Regulator:
Allows the user to adjust the pressure coming out of the tank to match what is needed for the
task.
I
Pressure Regulator Gauge:
Gauge that indicates the amount of pressure that the regulator is providing
to the tool.
J
Quick Connect:
Fitting that is designed to accept a hose that allows pressure to be released for tool
usage.
