WARNING DRAIN LIQUID FROM AIR TANK DAILY - Use the drain valve located on the bottom of the air tank to drain. Failure to properly drain liq- uid from the tank will cause rust from moisture buildup, which weakens the tank and could lead to a violent tank explosion. Periodically inspect the tanks for unsafe conditions such as corrosion, cracked welds, and leaks. Release air slowly when draining moisture or depressurizing the air compressor. Fast moving air will stir up dust, dirt and debris that

3. AUTOMATIC ON/OFF PRESSURE SWITCH: This compressor is equipped with an automatic on/off pressure switch. The compressor will only run when the switch is in the “I” (ON) position. Once the tank has reached the desired preset pressure (“cut-out” pres- sure), the pump motor will automatically shut off. While the switch is in the “I” (ON) position, the pump motor will automatically turn back on once the pressure in the tank drops below the minimum preset pressure (“cut-in” pressure). WARNING DO NO
