GLOSSARY SCFM or CFM: Standard Cubic Feet per Minute; a unit of measurement of air delivery. PSIG or PSI: Pounds per square inch gauge. CUT-IN PRESSURE: While the motor is off, air tank pressure drops as you continue to use your accessory. When the tank pressure drops to a certain tow level the motor will restart automatically. The low pressure at which the motor automatically re-starts is called "cut-in pressure.
PAGE 7
DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION Air Compressor Pump: To compress air, the piston moves up and down in the cylinder. On the downstroke, air is drawn in through the air intake valves. The exhaust valves remain closed. On the upstroke of the piston, air is compressed. The intake valves close and compressed air is forced out through the exhaust valves, through the outlet tubes, through the check valve and into the air tank.
