GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
To compress air, the pistons move up and down in the
cylinder. On the downstroke, air is drawn in through the
air intake valve. The exhaust valve remains dosed. On
the upstroke of the piston, air iscompressed. The intake
valves close and compressed air is forced out through
the exhaust valve, through the check valve and 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. The air intake opening must be kept clear
of obstructions which could reduce air delivery of the
compressor.
THE WHEELS AND HANDLE DO NOT
PROVIDE ADEQUATE CLEARANCE, STA-
BILITY OR SUPPORT FOR PULLING THE
UNiT UP OR DOWN STAIRS AND STEPS.
THE UNiT MUST BE UFTED OR PUSHED UP
A RAMP.
