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.
Check Valve: When the air compres-
sor is operating, the check valve is
"open", allowing compressed
air to
enter the air tank. When the air com-
pressor reaches "cut-out"
pressure,
the check valve "closes", allowing air
pressure to remain inside the air tank.

Release
Check Valve
Pressure Release Valve: The pres-
sure 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
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.
Motor: This motor has a manual ther-
mal overload protectoE 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.
