Pressure Switch (see A)
This switch turns on the compressor. It is operated manually,
but when in the AUTO position, it allows the compressor to start
up or shut down automatically, without warning, upon air demand.
ALWAYS set this switch to OFF when the compressor is not
being used, and before unplugging the compressor.
Tank Safety Valve (see B)
Used to allow tank pressure to escape into the atmosphere.
If the pressure switch does not shut off the compressor at it's
"cut-out" pressure setting, the safety valve will protect against
high pressure by releasing tank pressure at it's factory set
pressure (slightly higher than the pressure switch "cut-out"
setting). To operate manually, pull the ring on the valve to relieve
air pressure in the tank.
Pressure Release Valve (see C)
The pressure release valve (located on the bottom of the
pressure switch), is designed to release compressed air from the
compressor head and outlet tube when the compressor reaches
"cut-out" or is shut off. The pressure valve allows the motor to
restart freely. When the motor stops running, air will be heard
escaping from this valve for a few seconds. No air should be
heard leaking when the motor is running or after brief release
after reaching "cut-out" pressure.
Tank Pressure Gauge (see D)
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.
Air Pressure Regulator (see E)
This air pressure regulator enables you to adjust line
pressure to the tool you are using.
WARNING:
Never exceed the maximum working
pressure of the tool.
Turn the knob clockwise to increase pressure, and
counterclockwise to decrease pressure.
MOTOR RESET SWITCH
WARNING:
Ensure that all guards and shrouds are in
place before pressing the reset switch to restart the
motor.
If the motor shuts down because of overload, wait 10–15
minutes so the motor can cool down, then press (NEVER force)
the reset switch (see G) to restart the motor (see Fig. 4).
NOTE: Some models are equipped with a dual voltage
motor 115/230 volt. Most models are factory wired
for 115 volt operation. If conversion from 115 volt
to 230 volt is required, refer to the motor
nameplate and have the conversion performed by
a Licensed Electrician.
