Pressure Switch

  1. Pressure Switch for the 12V Compressor (Spare) (#113545)
  2. Two Adjustable Wrenches

Note:
If your 12V Compressor was sold before September 2020, you will also need to replace the Pressure Relief Valve (#116690). If you are using with a 125 psi 464 Pump Control Unit sold before September 2020, you will also need to replace the Pressure Relief Valve (#116690) on the 464.

 

Instructions

Ensure the power supply is disconnected from the 12V Compressor and the pressure has been fully vented from the tank.

 

  1. Pull to remove the two leads from the old pressure switch on the 12V Compressor.
