Key Parts Diagram

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 RELIEFSAFETY 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.
Make sure that the product is connected to an outlet that has the same configuration as the plug (see Figure 1). If an extension lead is used, make sure the cable size is sufficient as to be able
to take the current of the compressor
Check with a licensed electrician if the grounding instructions are not understood or there is doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided. If it will  not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a licensed electrician.
DANGER Improper installation of the grounding plug will result in a risk of electric shock. If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, consult a qualified electrician.
