TANK SAFETY VALVE -
The safety valve automatically relieves pressure from the air tank in the event of excessive pressure
build up. Safety Valve is preset at factory. Do not attempt to make any adjustments to the safety valve.
Periodically pull the ring on the safety valve end to check that it is working properly.
PRESSURE -
Controlled by the red-tipped power switch which turns the air compressor on and off. When switch is
pulled up to the "Auto / On" position, the pressure switch is engaged and will start the compressor pump
automatically when tank pressure is below the factory-set minimum. The pressure switch continues
to monitor the pressure and turns the pump off when the pressure reaches the factory-set maximum.
Compressor is turned on. When pushed down, the pump is off
Always make sure that the compressor power switch is in the OFF position before
performing any maintenance or plugging the compressor into a power supply.
TANK DRAIN VALVE
(located on bottom of tank) - The tank drain valve can be opened to allow moisture and compressed air to be
released from the air tank.
The tank drain valve should always be opened slowly to avoid damage to equipment
and possible injury.
