CFM: Cubic feet per minute; a unit of measure of air flow.

PSI: Pounds per square inch; a unit of measure of air pressure.

Cut-in pressure: While the motor is off, air tank pressure drops

as you continue to use your accessory. When the tank pressure

drops to factory set low pressure point, the motor will restart

automatically. The low pressure at which the motor automatically

restarts is called "cut-in" pressure.

Cut-out pressure: When an air compressor is turned on and

BASIC AIR COMPRESSOR COMPONENTS

Oilless air compressors are factory lubricated for life and do

not require any oil.

The basic components of the air compressor are the electric

motor, pump, pressure switch and tank (see Fig. 1).

The electric motor (see A) powers the pump. The electric

motor is equipped with an overload protector to help prevent

possible motor burnout. If the motor becomes overheated, the

overload protector will shut it down. Should this occur, allow the

motor to cool for 10-15 minutes, then press (never force) the

motor reset switch to restart the motor.

The pump (see B) compresses the air and discharges it into

the tank.

The tank (see C) stores the compressed air.

The pressure switch (see D ) shuts down the motor when

the tank reaches a pre-set "cut-out" pressure. As compressed

air is used and the tank drops to a pre-set "cut-in" pressure, the

switch restarts the motor automaticallly, and the pump resumes

compressing air.
