FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Your new air compressor can be used for operating paint, weed killer, and
insecticide sprayers, air tools, grease & caulking guns, sandblasters, inflation,
etc. A tool with a higher air demand than this compressor can produce may
either not function, or not function well. It may also cause the compressor to run
without stopping for long periods of time, trying to maintain pressure in the tank.
This can cause either the motor or compressor pump to overheat and damage
them. Be sure the requirements of your tools can be met by the compressor.
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.
