GLOSSARY OF TERMS
Air Filter
Porous element contained within a metal or
plastic housing attached to the compressor
cylinder head which removes impurity from the
intake air of the compressor.
Air Tank
Cylindrical component which contains the
compressed air.
Check Valve
Device which prevents compressed air from
flowing back from the air tank to the compres-
sor pump.
Electric Motor
Device which provides the rotational force
necessary to operate the compressor pump.
Pressure Gauge
Device which shows the tank or regulated
pressure of the compressed air.
Pressure Switch
Device which automatically controls the on/off
cycling of the compressor. It stops the
compressor when the cut-off pressure in
the tank is reached and starts the compressor
when the air pressure drops below the cut-in
pressure.
PSI (Pounds per Square Inch)
Measurement of the pressure exerted by the
force of air. The actual psi is measured by a
pressure gauge on the compressor.
Pump
Device which produces the compressed air
with a reciprocating piston contained within a
cylinder.
Safety Valve
Device which prevents air pressure in the air
tank from rising over a predetermined limit.
Thermal Overload Switch
Device, integrated into the electric motor winding,
which automatically “shuts off” the compressor
if the temperature of the electric motor exceeds
a predetermined limit.
1. Replace pressure switch if it does not release
air pressure briefly when unit shuts off.
Do not remove pressure
switch with air pressure in
tank
1. Make sure unit is mounted on a level surface
with vibration pads.
2. Replace belts. Align and tighten properly.
3. Align flywheel and drive pulley.
1. Reduce air demand or use a compressor
with more air capacity.
2. Clean all cooling surfaces of dirt and dust.
3. Install compressor in an area with adequate
cool dry air.
1. Malfunctioning check valve
Overheating
