IMPORTANT INFORMATION
11
8 U.S. GALLONS (30.3 L) AIR COMPRESSOR 058-9316-0
Pressure switch
This switch turns the compressor on and off. It is operated manually and when it is in the ON
position, it allows the motor to start if the pressure in the air tank is below the factory set cut-in
pressure, and allows the motor to stop if the pressure in the air tank reaches the factory set cut-out
pressure. Be sure to set this switch to the OFF position when the compressor is not being used and
before unplugging the compressor.
Safety valve
This valve is used to prevent system failure by draining pressure from the system when it reaches a
preset level if the pressure switch has not shut down the motor. It will pop open automatically, or it
can be activated manually by pulling the ring on the valve.
Air pressure regulator
The regulator is used to adjust the pressure inside the line to the tool that is being used. Turn the
knob clockwise to increase the pressure and counter-clockwise to decrease the pressure.
Tank pressure gauge
The gauge measures the pressure level of the air that is stored in the tank. It cannot be adjusted by
the operator and it does not indicate the pressure inside the line.
Outlet pressure gauge
The gauge measures the regulated outlet pressure.
Air outlet
The outlet is connected to the 1/4” (6.4 mm) NPT air hose.
Air tank drain valve
The drain valve is used to remove moisture from the air tank after the compressor is shut off.
Air tank
The tank is where the compressed air is stored.
Power cord
This compressor should be used on a nominal 120 V grounded circuit. Use a power cord that is
equipped with a grounding plug. Verify that the compressor is plugged into an outlet that has the
same configuration as the plug. Do not use an adaptor with this compressor.
