Know your Air Compressor
See Figure 2.
Before attempting to use this product, familiarize yourself
with all operating features and safety rules.
Oil-free Universal Motor
Your air compressor features permanently lubricated
bearings.
Manual On/Off Power Switch
This switch is used to start or stop the air compressor. Moving
the switch to the (ON) position will provide automatic power
to the pressure switch which will allow the motor to start
when the air tank pressure is below the factory set cut-in
pressure. When in the (ON) position, the pressure switch
stops the motor when the air tank pressure reaches the
factory set cut-out pressure. Moving the switch to the (OFF)
position will remove power from the motor and stop the air
compressor.
Air intake filter
This filter is designed to clean air coming into the pump.
To ensure the pump continually receives a clean, cool, dry
air supply this filter must always be clean and ventilation
opening free from obstructions.
Electric Motor & Air Compressor Pump
The motor is used to power the pump. The electric motor
has a thermal overload protector. If the motor overheats for
any reason, the thermal overload will cut off power, thus
preventing the motor from being damaged. Wait until the
motor is cool.
Air compressor pump: to compress air, the piston moves up
and down in the cylinder. On the down stroke, air is drawn in
through the air intake valve while the exhaust valve remains
closed. On the upstroke, air is compressed, the intake valve

closes and compressed air is forced out through the exhaust
valve, into the discharge line, through the check valve and
into the air tank.
Safety Valve
This valve is designed to prevent system failures by relieving
pressure from the system when the compressed air reaches a
predetermined level. The valve is preset by the manufacturer
and must not be modified in any way.
Air Tank Drain Valve
The drain valve is used to remove moisture from the air tank.
Air Tank Pressure Gauge
The tank pressure gauge indicates the pressure of the air in
the tank.
Regulated Pressure Gauge
The current line pressure is displayed on the regulator
pressure gauge. This pressure can be adjusted by rotating
the pressure regulator knob.
Pressure Regulator Knob
Use the pressure regulator knob to adjust the amount of air
being delivered through the hose.
The air pressure coming from the air tank is controlled by the
regulator knob. Turn the pressure regulation knob clockwise
to increase discharge pressure, and counterclockwise
to decrease discharge pressure. Follow tool operating
instructions for recommended pressure range.
Air Tank
The tank is used to store the compressed air.
Quick Coupler
The outlet is used to connect the 1/4 in. NPT air hose.
Overload Protector (not shown)
This air compressor is equipped with a thermal overload
device which will turn the air compressor off automatically,
if the air compressor becomes overheated. If the motor turns
OFF repeatedly, check for the following possible causes first:
Low Voltage from the outlet. Lack of proper ventilation or
outside air or room temperature too high. Extension cord too
long or wrong gauge wire used.
To reset the air compressor:
● Turn the air compressor off.
● Unplug the air compressor and allow it to cool for 30 minutes.
● Plug the air compressor into an approved outlet.
● Turn the air compressor on.
