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.
Check Valve: When the air
compressor
is operating,
the check
valve is
"open",
allowing
compressed
air to enter
Check Valve
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: 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.
Air Intake Filter (not shown): This
filter is designed to clean air coming
into the pump. This filter must always
be clean and ventilation openings
free from obstructions. See
"Maintenance".
D26706
Motor Overload Protector: The
motor has an automatic reset thermal
overload 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.
Hose Wrap:
Conveniently
stores up to 50
feet of air hose.
