BASIC AIR COMPRESSOR COMPONENTS
The basic components of the air compressor are
the electric motor, pump, pressure switch and
tank (see
Fig. 1
). The tank may be vertical or
horizontal, varying in size and capacity.
The
electric motor
(see
A
) powers the pump.
The electric motor is equipped with an
overload
protector
to help prevent possible motor burnout.
If the motor becomes overheated, the overload
protector will shut it down. Should this occur,
allow the motor to cool for 10-15 minutes, then
press (never force) the motor reset switch to
restart the motor.
The
pump
(see
B
) compresses the air and
discharges it into the tank.
The
tank
(see
C
) stores the compressed air.
The
pressure switch
(see
D
) 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

NOTE: See pages 8 & 9
for typical installation
of the 60 gallon model.
4. To prevent damage to tank and compressor on stationary models, the
tank must be shimmed so the pump base is level within 1/8” to distribute
oil properly. All feet must be supported, shimming where necessary, prior to
attaching to the floor. Fasten all feet to floor. We also recommend the use of
vibration pads (094-0137) under tank feet.
5. Fasten the compressor down securely if transporting is necessary. Pressure
must be released from the tank before transporting.
6. Protect the air hose from damage and puncture. Inspect them weekly for
weak or worn spots, and replace if necessary.
7. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not expose to rain. Store indoors.
