Darn! That can't be much fun. Glad you weren't hurt when it came apart. It's imperative that all air is dumped from a compressor before working on any part of it. But I guess you know that now, huh? :-)

There are no manuals for reassembling a pressure switch that I know of. Though they aren't terribly complex devices, there are lots of little pieces, and if they don't go back together properly, the switch won't work properly, and that's not good either.

Go to your compressor store and have a look at the pressure switches on the compressors there. Maybe even buy one, and use it as a template for putting yours back together. Then, if you cannot do it, you have a new spare to install as a replacement.

Good luck,

Bill
