reaches “cut-out” pressure.

PRESSURE SWITCH: The

pressure switch automatically

starts the motor when the air

tank pressure drops to the

factory set “cut-in” pressure. It

stops the motor when the air

tank pressure reaches the

factory set “cut-out” pressure.

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 or equal to the tank

pressure. See “Operating

Procedures”.

TANK PRESSURE GAUGE: The

tank pressure gauge indicates

the air pressure in the tank.

REGULATOR: The air pressure

coming from the air tank is

controlled by the regulator knob.

Turn the knob clockwise to

increase pressure and counter-

clockwise to decrease pressure.

To avoid minor re-adjustment

after making a change in

pressure setting, always

approach the desired pressure

from a lower pressure. When

reducing from a higher to a lower

setting, first reduce to some

pressure less than desired

pressure. Depending on the air

requirements of each particular

accessory, the outlet regulated

air pressure may have to be

adjusted while you are operating

the accessory.

INSTALLATION AND

BREAK-IN

PROCEDURES

LOCATION OF THE AIR

COMPRESSOR

Locate the air compressor in a

clean, dry and well-ventilated

area. The air

must be kept

clear of obstructions, which could

reduce air delivery of the air

compressor. The air compressor

should be located at least 12

inches away from the wall or

other obstructions that will

interfere with the flow of air. The

air compressor head and shroud

are designed to allow for proper

cooling. If humidity is high, an air

filter can be installed on the air

outlet adapter to remove

excessive moisture.
