AUTOMATIC RUNNING:
Once started your compressor stops and starts
automatically. This is controlled by the pressure switch which is preset at the
factory to stop the motor when the pressure in the tank reaches it's maximum
working pressure and to automatically restart the motor when the pressure in the
tank decreases to a predetermined pressure (about 35psi below maximum
working pressure). If for some reason you want to stop the compressor, and
immediately start again, the compressed air above the piston must be bled, to
unload the compressor on start up (see STARTING section above).
PRESSURE REGULATION:
Your compressor may be fitted with a pressure
regulator or combined air filter and pressure regulator. Simply turn the pressure
control knob to adjust the outgoing pressure, clockwise to increase the pressure
and anticlockwise to reduce it, the outlet pressure is shown on the regulator
gauge.
