GENERAL iNFORMATiON

You have purchased an air compressor unit consisting of a 2 cylinder, single stage air compressor pump, an air tank, air hose, wheels, handte, air chuck and associated controls.

Your air compressor can be used for operating paint spray guns, air tools, caulking guns, grease guns, air brushes, sandblasters, power washers, inflating tires and plastic toys, spraying weed killers, insecticides, etc.

An air line filter is usually required for removal of mois- ture and oil vapor in compressed air when a paint spray gun is used.

An in-line lubricator is usually required for air tools to prolong toot life.

Separate air transformers which combine the functions of air regulation and/or moisture and dirt removal should be used where applicable.

These accessories can be purchased from most Sears stores or through the Sears General catatog or Power Toot catalog.

VALVE

Air Compressor Pump: To compress air, the pistons move up and down in the cylinders. On the downstroke, air is drawn in through the air intake filter and then through the air intake valves. The exhaust valve remains closed. On the upstroke of the piston, air is compressed. The intake valves close and compressed air is forced out through the exhaust valve, through the outlet tube,

through the check vatve and into the air tank. Working air is not available until the compressor has raised air tank pressure above that required at the air outlet.

Check Vatve: 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 vaIve "closes", aJlowing air pressure to remain inside the air tank.

Pressure Remeaee Valve:The pressure release valve located on the side of the pressure switch, is designed to automatically release compressed air from the com- pressor head and the outlet tube when the air compres- sor reaches "cut-out" pressure or is shut off. If the air is not release& the motor wilt try to start, but will be unable to. The pressure release vatve allows the motor to re- start freely. When the motor stops running, air wilt be heard escaping from the valve for a few seconds. No air should be heard leaking from the valve when the motor is running.

Safety Valve:tfthe pressure switch does not shut off the air compressor at or near its cut-out pressure setting, the safety valve will protect against high pressure by "pop- ping out" at its factory-.set pressure (slightJy higher than the pressure switch cut-out setting).
