Lifting Eyes: May also be used as tie down locations.
Ball Valve: On/Off control for pressurized air supply
from receiver tank (not the output pressure). A
regulator and/or quick connect fittings can attach to
its ½" NPT outlet. A regulator should be installed
for pressure regulation purposes.
Pressure Gauge: Air filled gauge. Shows pressure in
receiver tank.
Air Receiver / Storage Tank: 80 gallon ASME certified
tank.
Discharge Tube: Carries compressed air from pump to
safety/check valve, and then to the storage tank. It
becomes very hot during use and can cause severe
burns. Never touch.
Pressure Switch-Auto/Off switch: In AUTO
position, compressor shuts off automatically when
tank pressure reaches maximum preset pressure
(approximately 175 PSI). In OFF position,
compressor will not operate. Switch should be in
OFF position when connecting or disconnecting
power cord from electrical outlet. NEVER attempt to
adjust this pressure switch.
Tank Drain Valve: Used to remove moisture from air
after compressor is shut off and air emptied from tank.
Drain moisture daily after each use.
ASME Safety/Check Valve: Automatically releases air if
tank exceeds preset pressure max. of 200 PSI. A check
valve is a pressure release port. Pull valve pin to relieve
pressure from receiver tank.
Unloader: Vents discharge air to atmosphere in
start/stop operation.
Air Compressor Pump: Shipped with oil.
Belt Guard: Covers belt, engine pulley and flywheel.
NEVER operate compressor without belt guard in place.
Compressor Air Filter: Keep clean and particle free.
See "Pump Explosion and Pump Parts List" for
replacement part number.
Magnetic Oil Drain Plug: Removal allows for drainage
of oil from pump. Attracts metal particles that could
damage pump.
Manual Tube. Storage for safety manual.
