1) MOTOR/PRESSURE SWITCH: This switch is used to
start or stop the air compressor. Moving the switch to the
"On" position will provide automatic power to the pressure
switch which will allow the motor to start when the air
tank pressure is below the factory set "cut-in" pressure.
When in the "ON " position, the pressure switch stops the
motor when the air tank pressure reaches the factory set
"cut out" pressure. For safety purposes, this switch also
has a pressure release valve located on the side of the
switch designed to automatically release compressed air
from the air compressor pump head and its discharge
line when the air compressor reaches "cut-out" pressure
or is shut off. This allows the motor to restart freely. Moving
the switch to the "Off" position will remove power from
the pressure switch and stop the air compressor.

2) MOTOR THERMAL OVERLOAD:
The electric motor has a
manual thermal overload
protector. If the motor
overheats for any reason, the
thermal overload will cut off
power, thus preventing the
motor from being damaged.
Wait until the motor is cool
before pressing the thermal
overload button to reset and
begin working again.
3) AIR INTAKE FILTER: This filter is designed to clean
air coming into the pump. To ensure the pump continually
receives a clean, cool, dry air supply this filter must always
be clean and ventilation opening free from obstructions.
The filter can be removed for cleaning by using warm,
soapy water. Rinse the filter and air dry. Replace filter
when necessary.
4) AIR COMPRESSOR PUMP: To compress air, the
pistons move up and down in the cylinders. On the
downstroke, air is drawn in through the air intake valves
while the exhaust valves remain closed. On the upstroke,
air is compressed, the intake valves close and

compressed air is forced out through the exhaust valves,
into the discharge line, through the check valve and into
the air tank.
5) SAFETY RELIEF VALVE:
This valve is designed to prevent
system failures by relieving
pressure from the system when
the compressed air reaches a
predetermined level. The valve
is preset by the manufacturer and must not be modified
in any way. To verify the valve is working properly, pull on
the ring. Air pressure should escape. When the ring is
released, it will reseat.
6) AIR TANK DRAIN VALVE:
The drain valve is
used to remove
moisture from the air
tank(s) after the air
compressor is shut
off. NEVER attempt
to open the drain
valve when more
than 10 PSI of air
pressure is in the
air tank! To open the drain valve, turn the knob
counterclockwise.
7) AIR TANK PRESSURE GAUGE: The air tank pressure
gauge (A) indicates the reserve air pressure in the air
tank (s).
8) OUTLET PRESSURE GAUGE: The outlet pressure
gauge (B) 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 air tank
pressure.
9) PRESSURE REGULATOR: The air pressure coming
from the air tank is controlled by the regulator knob (C).
Turn the pressure regulation knob clockwise to increase
discharge pressure, and counterclockwise to decrease
discharge pressure.

10) OIL DIPSTICK: The dipstick will
register the amount of oil in the pump.
Oil level should be checked on a daily
basis to ensure it does not exceed the
maximum notch or fall below the
minimum notch on the dipstick
