When the tank pressure drops to a certain low level the motor will restart automatically. The low pressure at which the motor automatically restarts is called “cut-in” pressure. Cut-Out Pressure: When an air compressor is turned on and begins to run, air pressure in the air tank begins to build. It builds to a certain high pressure before the motor automatically shuts off - protecting your air tank from pressure higher than its capacity. The high pressure at which the motor shuts off is called “

Turn the knob clockwise to increase pressure and counterclockwise to decrease pressure. On/Auto/Off Switch Tank Pressure Gauge Outlet Pressure Gauge Regulator Safety Valve Pressure Switch Drain Valve: The drain valve is located at the base of the air tank and is used to drain condensation at the end of each use. Cooling System (not shown): This compressor contains an advanced design cooling system. At the heart of this cooling Drain Valve system is an engineered fan. It is perfectly normal for t

4. Extension cords comply with specifications. If any of the above conditions cannot be met, or if operation of the compressor repeatedly causes interruption of the power, it may be necessary to operate it from a 20 amp circuit.
