Air Compressor Pump: To compress air,
Check Valve (B, Fig. 1): 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.
ON/AUTO-OFF Switch (C, Fig.2):Turn
this switch ON to provide power to the
automatic pressure switch and OFF to
remove power at the end of each use.
Pressure Switch (C, Fig. 2): The pressure
switch automatically starts the motor
when the tank pressure drops below the
factory set “cut-in” pressure. It stops the
motor when the air tank pressure reaches
the factory set “cut- out” pressure.
Regulator (D, Fig. 4): The air pressure coming from the air tank is controlled
from a lower pressure. When reducing from a higher to a lower setting, fi rst
pressure. Depending on the air requirements of each particular accessory,
the outlet regulated air pressure may
have to be adjusted white operating the
accessory.
Outlet Pressure Gauge (E, Fig. 4): The
outlet pressure gauge indicates the air
pressure available at the outlet side of
the regulator. This pressure is controlled
by the regulator and is always less than
or equal to the tank pressure. See
“Operating Procedures”.

Tank Pressure Gauge (F, Fig. 4): The tank pressure gauge indicates the
Drain Valve (G, Fig. 3): The drain valve is located at the base of the air tank
escaping from this valve for a few seconds. No air should be heard
leaking when the motor is running, or continuous leaking after unit
If the safety valve does not work properly, over-pressurization
may occur, causing the air tank to rupture or an exploded. The ring on the
safety valve should be pulled daily to make sure that the safety valve operates
freely,if the valve is stuck or does not operate smoothly, it must be replaces
with the same type of valve.
Your compressor comes to you completely assembled and ready for use.
Overload protection(Fig. 5) This compressor has a reset
overload reset button that will restart the motor
after it shuts off due to overloading or low voltage.
If the motor stops during operation:
1. Turn the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.
2. Wait about five minutes for the motor to cool.
3. Push in on the reset button.
4. Turn the switch to the ON position.
TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENTAL START-UP IF THE RESET BUTTON
IS PUSHED, THE ON/OFF SWITCH SHOULD BE IN THE OFF POSITION AND
THE PLUG SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM THE POWER SOURCE WHILE
