Hand Carry Electric Air Compressor Manual 9
AIR COMPRESSOR FEATURES
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 air tank pressure.
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 to prevent the motor from being damaged. Turn pressure switch
lever to the "OFF" position and wait until the motor is cool. Press the thermal
overload button to reset it and begin working again.
PRESSURE SWITCH: The switch is used to start or stop the air compressor.
Moving the switch to the "Auto" (ON) position will allow the pressure switch to
start the motor when the air tank pressure is below the factory set "cut-in" pres-
sure. When in the "Auto" position, the pressure switch stops the motor when
the air tank pressure reaches the factory set "cut-out" pressure. 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 open the pressure switch contacts and stop the air compressor.
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. Replace
filter element when necessary.
TANK PRESSURE GAUGE: The tank pressure gauge indicates the air pres-
sure in the air tank.
PRESSURE REGULATOR: The air pressure coming from the air tank is controlled
by the regulator knob. Turn the pressure regulation knob clockwise to increase
discharge pressure, and counterclockwise to decrease discharge pressure.
