RECEIPT AND INSPECTION
Each air compressor outt 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 movement 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 lter openings must be kept clear of obstructions.
All tools require specic 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 efciently with this air compressor. For best results, always compare
the air tool requirements to your compressor output specications. 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.
