pump.

2. Dipstick. The dipstick measures the

oil level in the compressor pump (See

Figure 3).

3. ASME Safety Valve. This valve auto-

matically releases air if the tank pres-

sure exceeds the preset maximum.

4. Regulator Knob. This knob controls

air pressure to an air operated tool or

paint spray gun. Turning the knob

clockwise increases air pressure at

the outlet. Turning counterclockwise

will lower air pressure at the outlet.

Fully counterclockwise will shut off

from the tank. Note that each tank

has its own tank drain valve.

6. Unloader. The unloader controls the

engine rpm. When loaded, the engine

will run at maximum operating speed

and air will enter the tank. When

unloaded, the engine will slow to an

idle and air will vent to atmosphere.

7. Belt Guard. The belt guard encloses

the pulleys and drive belt. It protects

the user from moving parts and

directs cooling air to the compressor
