Basic Air Compressor Components
Oil-less aircompressor are factory
lubricated for life and do not require
any oil.
The basic components of the air
compressor the electric motor,
pump, pressure switch, and tank.
The electric motor (see A) powers
the pump. The electric motor is
equipped with an overload protector
and an automatic reset. If the motor
becomes overheated, the overload
protector will shut it down to prevent
damage to the motor. When the motor
sufficiently cools, it will automatically
restart.
The dual pump (see B) compresses the air
and discharges it into the tank.
The tank (see C) stores the compressed
air.
The pressure switch (located internally) shuts down the motor and relieves air
pressure in the pump and transfer tube when the air pressure in the tank reaches
the kick-out pressure. As compressed air is used and the pressure level in the
tank drops to the kick-in pressure, the pressure, the pressure switch restarts
the motor automatically, without warning, and the pump resumes compressing air.
Assembling the Air Compressor
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 immediatly
because there are time limitations to damage claims. The carton should contain.
