Hi Gang. I wanted to install an EATON push button start/stop button on my Eaton Mag start...The Utube video
. The video said to red L1, the yellow to 2of3 the blk 3of4?...I have an auziliary on the mag start labeled 13NO and below 14NO...Can I wire blk to 13NO and yellow to 14NO, and red to L1? see photos of inside mag start

Wiring in an Eaton start/stop pushbutton -c400gr1

For a air compressor that is the last thing you want, a selector switch wired in the control circuit to shut off during periods of non-use is desirable but the pressure switch should be controlling the motor, with a start/stop control station the safety over
pressure device will activate because there is no way to shut it down automatically w/o a pressure switch.

Yup, what he said. The pressure switch creates the circuit to pull in the starter and the on/off switch just breaks that circuit. A simple toggle switch somewhere. To put a momentary push button in, you would need a separate latching relay to control the magnetic starter solenoid circuit which is controlled by the pressure switch. Not worth the time and effort.

OP- why do u want a S/S switch? To shut it off at night?

Agree with others, I don't think you want a momentary run/stop pushbutton set.
This will have to "seal" the coil of a relay to work properly, and it can't seal in the motor starter...pressure switch must have control. So, you would be adding an additional relay to the control box, and I don't see a lot of extra room, even for an ice cube.
A maintained switch (like a toggle, its mechanically maintained in the two positions) is a better choice. Could also be a "selector-" or "keyed-" switch with the same physical attributes.
