Installation
Getting to Know Your Air Compressor
1. Regulated Outlet Gauge
1. This gauge shows at-a-glance, air
pressure at outlet. Air pressure is
measured in pounds per square inch
(PSI). Most tools have maximum pres-
sure ratings. Never exceed the maxi-
mum pressure rating of the tool you
are using.
2. Be sure this gauge reads ZERO
before changing air tools or discon-
necting hose from outlet.
2. Tank Pressure Gauge
Gauge shows pressure in air receiver
indicating compressor is building pres-
sure properly.
