FEATURES AND CONTROLS
6
Air Compressor Pump: Pump compresses air into tanks.
Check Valve: When unit is operating, check valve is “open”,
allowing air to enter tank. At “cut-out” pressure, check valve
closes, preventing air from flowing back into pump.
Data Tag: (not shown) The data tag contains serial number,
model number, and revision number information.
Drain Valves: Valves are located near bottom of each air
tank and are used to drain condensation.
Overload Protector: If motor overheats, overload
protector shuts motor off. See TROUBLESHOOTING.
Oil Fill Location: Oil level dipstick indicates pump oil level.
ON - OFF Switch: Pull to ON position to power air
compressor. Push to OFF position to remove power.
Pressure Release Valve: (not shown) Located near
pressure switch, valve automatically releases air from internal
compressor components at “cut-out” pressure or when unit
is shut off.
Pressure Switch: Automatically starts motor when tank
pressure drops below “cut-in” pressure and stops motor
when pressure rises to “cut-out” pressure.
Pressure Control: Regulator controls air pressure delivered
to quick connect fittings.
Quick Connect Fittings: Connect air tools here.
Regulated Pressure Gauge: Indicates air pressure at quick
connect fittings.
Safety Valve: Valve protects against excessive tank pressure
by ‘popping out’ at its factory setting, thus relieving pressure.
Tank Pressure Gauge: Gauge indicates air pressure within
air tanks.
NOTE: See GLOSSARY on page 17 for definitions.
