Standard Components
1.
MOTOR/PUMP UNIT:
Provides the power and compresses air to the desired
pressure.
2.
* RECEIVER:
Air storage providing pulsation free air on demand.
3.
*
PRESSURE SWITCH:
Monitors the air pressure in the receiver and starts and
stops the compressor automatically according to pressure level. Also acts as the
compressor on/off switch.
4.
*
RECEIVER PRESSURE GAUGE:
Indicates Air pressure in the receiver.
5.
OUTLET PRESSURE GAUGE:
Indicates air pressure being used/ delivered down
the airline.
6.
AIR OUTLET VALVE:
Some models have more than one outlet valve and can be
regulated or unregulated.
7.
* REGULATOR:
Enables air pressure to be regulated to the outlet valve.
8.
NON-RETURN VALVE:
Prevents the air pressure stored in the receiver from
returning back to the pump unit.
9.
* BLEED PIPE:
When the pressure switch turns off the motor any
back pressure in the delivery pipe and pump unit is exhausted down this bleed pipe.
10.
* DELIVERY PIPE:
Delivers the compressed air from the pump to the
receiver.
11.
SAFETY VALVE:
In the event of excessive pressure build up this valve will
release the excess pressure to the atmosphere.
12.
AIR INTAKE FILTER:
Filters the intake of air to protect the pump unit from
damage of air born debris. On some models the filter in integrated into the pumps
head.
13.
DRAIN VALVE:
Allows the draining of moisture build up inside the air receiver.
This is a manual operation and must be done daily.
14.
* WHEELS:
For portability.
15.
* RUBBER FEET:
To reduce vibration.
16.
* OIL DIP STICK:
To measure oil level also fill port for oil. Not on oil free models
