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.
Drain Valve: The drain valve is located at the base of the
air tank and is used to drain condensation at the end of
each use.
Check Valve: When the air compressor is operating, the
check valve is "open", allowing compressed air to enter
the air tank. When the air compressor reaches "cutout"
pressure, the check valve "closes", allowing air pressure to remain inside the air
tank.
Motor Overload Protector (not shown): The
motor has a 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. To restart:
1.
Set the On/Off lever to "Off" and unplug unit.
2.
Allow the motor to cool.
3.
Plug the power cord into the correct branch
circuit receptacle.
4.
Set the Auto/Off lever to "On" position.
