Airmaster Tiger Turbo 8/36 Compressor

Hi Gary
What pressure is it rated @
The regulator is on the outlet from the tank and does not control the actual pressure attainable, governing of the pressure is done by a pressure switch that cuts in when pressure drops to a preset level and then cuts off the motor supply when tank is upto pressure,
So the switch is controlling your maximum pressure.
pressure switch is adjustable, but it will depend on the rated pressure of the tank, there should also be a relief valve on the tank to prevent over pressurization.

Just had a look @ Machine Mart and it would appear to be a diaphragm pump so you will need to remove the head to make sure it's not damaged and is sealing around the edge,also check the non return valves.
Hope that helps.
Regards
Mike
