The compressor will turn on when the air pressure reaches below 43 PSI and will automatically shut off when 57 PSI is reached. This feature will save wear and tear on the motor and won’t allow moisture to build up due to heat. The second switch will allow the compressor to reach the maximum pressure of 85 PSI. There is also a safety valve that will release automatically letting out excess air pressure. If the unit begins to overheat it will turn off automatically.
