air compressor switch adjustment

[@dekebell3307]

LOL, I flipped my lid over right after you showed yours and BAM…there’s the instructions! Thanks for the help sir!

[@steveking4188]

Thank You for taking the time to help people out!!

[@johngarcia6365]

I’m so glad I found your post. Very helpful info. I was able to reduce my factory set psi of 175 sn to 150. My unit has a max of 150 so… I think you possibly saved my bacon. Good video!

[@joannzimmerman-vanbuskirk4842]

Thanks so much. My switch looks almost the same. No paperwork arrived with it. Not finding anything on Google to explain what the two screws do. Appreciate your help!

[@pt4826]

Adjusted my jet pump well switch with the help of your video! Thank you fine sir!

[@prongATO]

OMG, thank you! I just got an Ingersoll Rand Garage Mate compressor and couldn’t find any way to adjust my pressure switch! It was supposed to cut out at 135 PSI and it was cutting out at 125 PSI. Cut on is 105, which is fine. I could get the pressure up to 135 but it raised my cut in to 115. Now I know ro use the Philips head screw to being the cut out and back the slotted screw back counter clockwise. (Mine has a slotted for the main screw and Philips in place of your plastic screw)

I appreciate the simplicity of your video.

[@kengunnell6398]

EXACTLY what I needed. Thank you for taking the time.

[@biancachow8823]

Thank you so much for this video this has been driving us crazy you explained to us in lamens terms and now we get it!!! Thank you ❤❤❤

[@prongATO]

Did it work? I keep trying to get mine to cut out at 135 but it keeps raising the cut in with it.

[@biancachow8823]

@@prongATO yes it worked 💪

[@HectorJara-dv9qb]

Thank you buddy great information God bles u

[@kc9106]

Thanks I needed that information bc I had forgotten

[@joshwalker9505]

I dont recall you saying what clockwise vs counter clockwise rotations of each screw does. Itd be super helpful! Thabks for the video!

[@hogansmith7589]

yes, i saw that video and said the same thing. so i have a 1 year old Harbor Freight 10 gallon that just this past week stop cutting in at max PSI and the pressure valve releases. I have probably used this compressor 8 to 10 times in the past year. Are all the pressure switches the same with the brass/plastic screw?

[@joannzimmerman-vanbuskirk4842]

I have two metal screws on mine. One with a flat head the other has phillips. I am guessing the one on the right is for max psi and the one on the left is to increase cut in. It is important to note what max pressure your compressor is capable of and be sure you do not get a switch above that or you will be blowing the release valve. Also, if the pressure switch gets moisture in it, I understand that will make it quit working.

[@martinburns7928]

Also, No mention of which direction has what effect, Not so much meant as criticism, but as expounding upon the information available to harness a wider scope of known variables! Godspeed all !

[@hlhl5962]

short but helpful, thanks.

[@conrad2468]

Thanks. I needed this!

[@Musclebuildinglabs]

Great simple explanation

[@ripkobexnip3719]

Ugh so on my dewalt 60 gallon I adjusted a big screw it has a plus sign and minus sign I raised it then lowered it cuz I found. Out I wasn’t supposed to mess with it any suggestions

[@zcam1969]

OMG you are the genus . did you invent the light bulb . Edison ?

[@TRUDabs2]

So if my compressor won't turn off do I turn the screw counterclockwise?

[@gadasavideos8564]

@TRUDabs2 I would try counter-clockwise on the second screw in the procedure. Problem could be compressor isn't capable of achieving the cutoff setting. Has it ever shut off?

[@TRUDabs2]

@@gadasavideos8564 The actual pressure ends up exceeding the cutoff setting. I'll try clockwise before ripping it apart to see if it's a worn switch part. Thanks.

[@Rikats15]

Hi. Is there any way to increase cut in pressure but keeping cut out the same?

[@gadasavideos8564]

Maybe note cutout psi. Then raise both with first screw that moves both until cut in is where you want. Then reverse 2nd screw to see if you can reduce cutout back to what you noted without affecting cut in. Might depend if compressor is designed for cut in and out that you want to achieve

[@aco319sig3]

So, on the craftsman air compressors, the lid only contains the wiring diagram. This is because they intentionally leave out all such instructions on their user manual as well. Craftsman air compressors are set with factory cut in/cut out, and are not intended to be adjusted by the user. They even put a big glob of hat glue over the brass screw to try hiding that setting.

[@robertcuglietta7929]

What's the thing on the right do with the small 1/4" line?

[@kenhilson786]

That's the pressure release. Whenever the switch stops the compressor or you turn the switch off it releases pressure from above the piston. Makes startup easier.

[@dekurvajo]

I heard there are some cutin/cutout regulators where you can only adjust the cut in pressure. The cut off you can't.

[@martinburns7928]

You mention increasing the high end pressure ! Left out the decreasing the high end pressure threshold

[@prongATO]

That would be counter clockwise on the same screw, I would assume.

[@DIYVariety]

Thanks alot bud

[@kleidtomasse]

Thanks 👍👍

[@Dnasty1]

Lol i was watching this like wtf I don't see any instructions when you showed the lid. 😂

[@lovingjesus5184]

Mine appears to be missing the plastic screw. There's just a hole there.

[@lovingjesus5184]

If anyone has a spare parts hanging around and might have one of these plastic screws please let me know. I'll buy it from you LOL I have no idea where I can get one.

[@Hammerback0]

Got one extra. Though its a year later.

One of those constant throat clearers i hear.. gurd a lot of the time is the culprit of that as well as albuteral intake if asthmatic.. my dad did it all the time which annoyed the hell outta me is why i bring it up. He started taking the purple pill for his acid reflux he didnt know or think he had but appareny at night is when it happened and ended up eating a lot of the lining of his throat away over the years. Theres a name for that condition but it slips my mind. He ended up getting throat cancer in his age but isnt what took him out.. heart did that.. so you sound younger and may want to look into that unless youve been sick recently and just recovering.. never hurts to check.. unless you dont want to know.. which is what i think gave my dad his heart attack. He told the damn doctors he didnt want to know if he had cancer or not, said he wanted to be tested for any other issues that couod be causing his throat to swell.. but they told him and a week later his heart freaked out on him. As goes life.. sadly..
