BasicAirCompressorComponents
Oilless air compressors are factory
lubricated for life and do not require any
oil.
A&B
The basic components of the air
compressor are 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 pump (see B) compresses the air
and discharges it into the tank.
The tank (see C) stores the compressed
air,
t c
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 switch restarts the
motor automatically, without warning, and the pump resumes compressing air.
AssemblingtheCompressor
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 immediately because there are time limitations to
damaged claims. The carton should contain:
