Safety Valve: 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).
Outlet Pressure Gauge: 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.
Description of Operation
Become familiar with these controls
before operating the unit.
Off/Auto-On Switch: Turn this switch
to "Auto-On" to provide automatic
power to the pressure switch and
"Off" to shut off the power.
Pressure Switch (not shown): The
pressure switch automatically starts
the motor when the air 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.
12- ENG
A05051
Regulator: Controls the air pressure
shown on the outlet pressure gauge.
Turn knob clockwise to increase
pressure and counterclockwise to
decrease pressure.
Female Tire Chuck: Attaches to the
hose end to be used to inflate tires.
Note: To ensure correct tire pressure
use a tire pressure gauge.
Cooling System (not shown): This
compressor contains an advanced
design cooling system. At the heart of
this cooling system is an engineered
fan. It is perfectly normal for this fan
to blow air through the vent holes in
large amounts. You know that the
cooling system is working when air is
being expelled.
Air Compressor Pump (not shown):
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.
Blow Gun: Ideal for blowing,
cleaning, and inflating. Depress lever
on to release the air. Attaches to hose
end.
Safety Nozzle: Prevents pressure
build-up. Attaches to blow gun outlet.
Check Valve (not shown): 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.
Blow Gun Adapter: Attaches to the
blow gun to allow the tapered Inflator,
inflating needle, or high flow
inflator/deflator adapter body to be
used.
Inflating needles: Used to inflate
sport balls. Requires blow gun
adapter.
Tapered Inflator: Used to inflate toy
inflatables/air mattresses. Brass
tapered inflator attaches to blow gun
outlet and plastic tapered inflator
requires the blow gun adapter.
Rubber Tip Nozzle: Used to inflate
toy inflatables/air mattresses.
Attaches to blow gun outlet.
