Check
Valve:
When the air
compressor
is operating,
the check
valve is
"open",
Check Valve
allowing
compressed air to enter 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".
A00854
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.
