OVERVIEW / VUE D’ENSEMBLE / RESUMEN GENERAL Basic Air Compressor Components The basic components of the air compressor are the electric motor, Thermal Overload Protection System (TOPS), pump, and receiver (tank). The tank may be vertical or horizontal, varying in size and capacity. The electric motor (see A) powers the pump. TOPS senses both temperature and current, providing more complete motor overload protection than a magnetic starter, which senses only current.
ASSEMBLY / ASSEMBLAGE ASSEMBLING THE COMPRESSOR 1. 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 damage claims. The carton should contain: air compressor operator and parts manuals 2. Check the compressor’s serial label to ensure that you have received the model ordered, and that it has the required pressure rating for its intended use. 3.
ASSEMBLAGE / MONTAJE continué: b. c. d. Pour assurer un écoulement d’air et un refroidissement suffisants, le côté du volant–moteur du compresseur doit se trouver dans une zone propre et bien ventilée et à une distance de 30 cm (12 pouces) du mur ou de toute autre obstruction. Dans les zones climatiques froides, placez le compresseur dans un bâtiment chauffé pour minimiser les problèmes de graissage, de mise en marche du moteur et de gel de la condensation de l’eau.

N’utilisez jamais de tuyau en plastique pour de l’air comprimé.
TYPICAL INSTALLATION / INSTALLATION TYPIQUE / INSTALACION TIPICA Air dryers and after coolers An air dryer or aftercooler is installed directly in the air line. Moisture removal and air filtration As the air cools, moisture will condense in the lines. This moisture must be removed before it reaches the tool being used. To remove this moisture, run the main air line downhill to a moisture trap and drain. Air/water filters should also be installed in the positions shown.
COMPRESSOR CONTROLS / COMMANDES DU COMPRESSEUR Main Power Disconnect Install a main power disconnect switch in the power line to the compressor, near the compressor’s location. It is operated manually, but when it is in the ON position, the compressor will start up or shut down automatically based on air demand. ALWAYS operate this switch to OFF when the compressor is not being used.
