DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION

Drain Valve (not shown): The drain valve is located at the base of the air tank and is used to drain condensation at the end of each use.

Motor Thermal Overload Protector (not shown): The electric motor has an automatic thermal overload protector. If the motor overheats for any reason, the thermal overload protector will shut off the motor. The motor must be allowed to cool before restarting.

Compresses air into the air tank.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Check Valve (not shown): When the air compressor is operating, the check valve is “open”, allowing compressed air to enter the air tank. When the air compressor reaches “cut-out” pressure, the check valve “closes”, allowing air pressure to remain inside the air tank.

Pressure Release Valve (not shown): The pressure release valve located on the side of the pressure switch, is designed to automatically release compressed air from the compressor head and the outlet tube when the air compressor reaches “cut-out” pressure or is shut off. The pressure release valve allows the motor to restart freely. When the motor stops running, air will be heard escaping from this valve for a few seconds. No air should be heard leaking when the motor is running, or continuous leaking after unit reaches cut-out pressure.

Pressure Switch (B) Fig. 1: The pressure switch automatically starts the motor when the air tank pressure drops below the factory set “cut-in” pressure. It stops the motor when the air tank pressure reaches the factory set “cut-out” pressure.

Safety Valve (C) Fig. 1: If the pressure switch does not shut off the air compressor at its cut-out pressure setting, the safety valve will protect against high pressure by “popping out” at its factory set pressure (slightly higher than the pressure switch cut-out setting).

Outlet Pressure Gauge (D) Fig. 1: The outlet pressure gauge indicates the air pressure available at the outlet side of the regulator. This pressure is controlled by the regulator and is always less than or equal to the tank pressure.

Tank Pressure Gauge (E) Fig. 1: The tank pressure gauge indicates the reserve air pressure in the tank.

Regulator (F) Fig. 1: Controls the air pressure shown on the outlet pressure gauge. Pull the knob out and turn clockwise to increase pressure and counterclockwise to decrease pressure. When the desired pressure is reached push knob in to lock in place.
