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
Drain
Valve
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
Check Valve
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.
