BASIC AIR COMPRESSOR COMPONENTS
The basic components of the air compressor are the gasoline
engine, pump, tank(s) and unloader.
The gasoline engine (see A) powers the pump. The engine
drives a pulley and belt, which transfers power from the engine to
the pump pistons via a flywheel and a crankshaft. The flywheel
fan helps cool the pump.
The pump (see B) compresses the air and discharges it into
the tank. As the piston in the pump cylinder moves downward, air
enters the cylinder through the filter and air intake valves at atmo-
spheric pressure. As the piston moves upward, it compresses the
air and discharges it into the tank through a check valve.
The tank(s) (see C) store the compressed air. A check valve
at the tank inlet prevents the compressed air in the tanks from
flowing back into the pump.
When the air pressure in the tank reaches the factory–set
limit, the unloader (see D) relieves air pressure in the pump and
transfer tubes and switches the engine to idle. As compressed air
ASSEMBLING THE COMPRESSOR
This compressor was shipped with oil in the pump
crankcase. Check oil before operating the air
compressor, see Check Oil under Maintenance.
1.
Unpack the air compressor. Inspect the unit for damage. If
the unit has been damaged in transit, contact the carrier
and complete a damage claim. Do this immediately
because there are time limitations to damage claims.
The carton should contain:
•
Air compressor
•
Operator/parts manual
•
Engine manual
•
Vibration pads (4), Nuts (4), Washers (8) and Screws
(4)
2.
Check the compressor's serial label to ensure that you
have received the model ordered, and that it has the
required pressure rating for its intended use.

Attach vibration pads to compressor as shown in Fig. 1a.

Locate the compressor according to the following
guidelines:
WARNING:
Always operate the compressor in a well
ventilated area.
a.
Position the compressor as close as possible to the
Pressure Relief Valve (see A)
This valve will pop open automatically to prevent
overpressurization if the unloader does not switch the engine to
idle when the tank pressure reaches the pre-set level. To operate
manually, pull the ring on the valve to relieve air pressure in the
tank(s).
Tank Pressure Gauge (see B)
This gauge measures the pressure level of the air stored
in the tank(s). It is not adjustable by the operator, and does not
indicate line pressure.

place where the air will be used.
The flywheel side of the compressor must be at least 12
inches (31 cm) from any wall or obstruction, in a clean,
well–ventilated area, to ensure sufficient air flow and
cooling.
In cold climates, store portable compressors in a heated
building when not in use, to reduce problems with
lubrication, engine starting, and freezing of water
condensation.
Place the compressor on the floor or a hard, level
surface. The compressor must be level to ensure good
drainage of the moisture in the tank.
