You know that the cooling system is working when air is being expelled.
Air Compressor Pump (not shown): Compresses air into the air tank. Working
air is not available until the compressor has raised the air tank pressure above that | ||||
required at the air outlet. |

|
| |
Drain Valve: The drain valve is located at the base of the |
|
|
| |
|
|
| ||
air tank and is used to drain condensation at the end of |
|
|
| |
each use. |

Check Valve: When the air compressor is operating, the |
|
| ||
| Valve |
| ||
check valve is "open", allowing compressed air to enter |
|
|
| |
|
|
| ||
the air tank. When the air compressor reaches |
|
|
| |
pressure, the check valve "closes", allowing air |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
pressure to remain inside the air tank. |

Motor Overload Protector (not shown): The |
|
|
|
|
motor has an automatic reset thermal overload | Check Valve | |||
protector. If the motor overheats for any reason, |
|
|
|
|
the overload protector will shut off the motor. |
|
|
|
|
The motor must be allowed to cool down before |
|
|
|
|
restarting. The compressor will automatically |
|
|
|
|
restart after the motor cools. |
