RECEIPT AND INSPECTION
Each air compressor outfit is carefully tested and inspected before
shipment. Every attempt is made to ensure safe and complete shipment
of our products. It is the responsibility of the receiver of the goods to
ensure the product has been shipped in full and has arrived in suitable
condition. If there are any mechanical issues with your compressor,
please contact us for service.
It is your responsibility to ensure that the air compressor is properly
readied for use, as well as maintained and serviced on a regular basis.
Information has been included in this booklet outlining the suggested
air compressor maintenance schedules and a trouble shooting guide.
Be sure to follow the instructions in section 6.1 before turning your
compressor on. It is important that you read this information and keep
it in a safe place for future reference.
DESCRIPTION
The air compressor pump works with the up and down of a piston
in the cylinder. During the down-stroke of the piston, ambient air is
drawn in through the inlet valve, while the discharge valve remains
closed. During the up-stroke, the air is forced into the compressor
tank through the discharge valve and the check valve. Through this
controlled action, air is forced into the tank to a preset pressure.
The pressure is regulated by the pressure switch. Working air is not
available until the pressure in the air tank built up. The air inlet filter
openings must be kept clear of obstructions.
All tools require specific air pressure to operate properly. Consult your
air tool manual for those requirements and safety instructions. There
are a variety of air tools available that will operate efficiently with this air
compressor. For best results, always compare the air tool requirements
to your compressor output specifications. A tool that requires a lot
of continuous air, such as a sander, will not operate effectively with
a small tank compressor. A tool that requires little air, such as a brad
nail gun, will operate with a small tank compressor very effectively.
Learn your air tool power requirements, match your air tools to your
compressor correctly and this compressor will perform effectively.
