To compress air, the piston in the pump moves up and down in the cylinder.
On the down stroke, air is drawn in through the inlet valve. Since the discharge valve
remains closed, as the piston goes up, the air in the cylinder is compressed. The inlet
valve closes and compressed air is forced out into the air receiver. A check valve
prevents it from going back into the pump. Working air is not immediately available. The
pump continues to build air pressure until it reaches the required level on the regulator.
Locate the compressor in a clean, dry and well-ventilated area, on a firm level surface. It
should be located 12" to 18" (30 to 45 cm) from a wall or any other obstruction that
would interfere with the air flow. It is equiped with heat dissipation vanes that allow for
proper cooling. Keep them and other parts free of dust or dirt that could interfere with
cooling. A clean compressor runs cooler and provides longer service. Do not place
anything on top of the compressor.
WARNING
at the temperatures of the compressor's air discharge and cause the piping to burst.
