Key PartsDiagram

• A. ELECTRIC MOTOR: The motor is used to power the pump. It contains a thermal overload protector. If the motor overheats for any reason, the thermal overload protector will shut it down in order to prevent the motor from being damaged.
• AIR COMPRESSOR PUMP: The pump is used to compress the air and discharge it into the tank via the piston moving up and down in the cylinder.
• B. AIR RECEIVER : The Air Tank / Receiver is used to store the compressed air.
• C. TANK PRESSURE GAUGE: The gauge is used to measure the stored air pressure level inside the tank. It is not adjustable by the operator and does not indicate line  outlet pressure.
• D. AIR PRESSURE REGULATOR: The regulator is used to adjust line / outlet pressure to the tool you are using. Turn the knob clockwise to increase pressure and counterclockwise to decrease pressure.

WARNING

Never exceed the maximum working pressure of the tool.

• E. REGULATED PRESSURE GAUGE: The gauge is used to measure the regulated outlet pressure.
• F. QUICK COUPLER: The air compressor features a quick coupler for air outlet connecting ease.
• G. AIR TANK BALL VALVE: The ball valve is used to remove moisture / condensate from the air tank after the unit is shut off.

WARNING

Never attempt to open the drain valve when the tank pressure is more than 10 PSI.

• H. PRESSURE RELIEF SAFETY VALVE: The valve is used to prevent the compressor from over pressure. If the pressure reaches the preset level, it will automatically pop open.
• I. ON/OFF – PRESSURE SWITCH: This switch turns on the compressor and is operated manually. The compressor will produce air and shut off at the “Cut-Off “pressure. When air is drawn by an air tool the compressor will automatically start to pump once the “Cut-In” pressure has been reached. ALWAYS set this switch to OFF when the compressor is not being used and before unplugging the compressor.
• J. MAINS LEAD: This compressor is for use with a 230 Volt UK domestic socket and should be grounded / Earthed.
