2GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF AIR COMPRESSOR
To compress air, the piston moves up and down in the cylinder. During the down-stroke, air is
drawn in through the inlet valve, while the discharge valve remains closed. On the up-stroke of
the piston, air is compressed. While the inlet valve remain closed, compressed air is forced out
through the discharge valve, through the check valve, into air receiver tank. Working air is not
available until the pressure in the air receiver built up. The air inlet filter openings must be kept
clear of obstructions.
Your air compressor can be used for operating paint spray guns, caulking guns, grease guns,
air brushes, spraying weed killer and insecticides, or inflating tires and plastic toys etc.. An air
regulator is recommended for these application.

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.
