2. General Description of Air Compressor
The air compressor pump works with the up and down of a piston in the cylinder. during the down-
stroke of the piston, ambient air is drawn in through the inlet valve, while the discharge valve re-
mains closed. during the up-stroke, the air is forced into the compressor tank through the discharge
valve and the check valve. through this controlled action, air is forced into the tank to a preset
pressure. the pressure switch regulates the pressure and controls the stop/start of motor. working
air is not available until the pressure in the air tank built up. the air inlet filter openings must be kept
clear of obstructions.
all tools require specific air pressure to operate properly. consult your air tool manual for those
requirements and safety instructions. there are a variety of air tools available that will operate effi-
ciently with this air compressor. for best results, always compare the air tool requirements to your
compressor output specifications. a tool that requires a lot of continuous air, such as a sander,
will not operate effectively with a small tank compressor. a tool that requires little air, such as a
brad nail gun, will operate with a small tank compressor very effectively. learn your air tool power
requirements, match your air tools to your compressor correctly and this compressor will perform
effectively.
3. On Receipt Inspection
Each air compressor outfit is carefully tested and inspected before shipment. Every attempt is made
to ensure safe and complete shipment of our products. Please inform the dealers if any deficiency
was found.
4. General Requirement
Please ensure air compressor is installed correctly. Maintain and service on a regular basis. Infor-
mation included in this booklet describing the maintenance schedules and trouble shooting. It is
important that you read this information and keep it for future reference.
5. Installation
5-1. MECHANICAL
Located the compressor in a clean, dry and well ventilated area. The compressor should be located
12 ~ 18 inches from a wall or any other obstruction that would interfere with the air flow. Place the
air compressor on a firm and level surface. The air compressor is designed with heat dissipation fins
that allow for proper cooling. Keep the fins and other parts clean. A clean compressor runs cooler
and provides longer service. Allow room for easy access to the air compressor for maintenance and
service work.
