Air compressor components
Air filter
The filter is attached to the compressor cylinder head for removing impurities from the air intake of
the compressor.
Air tanks
These air tanks are cylindrical components that are used to store the compressed air.
Check valve
This valve is an one-way valve that is connected between the air tank and pressure transfer tube to
prevent backflow of compressed air from the air tank to the compressor pump.
Drain valves
These valves are located at the bottom of the air tanks to drain moisture from the tank.
Pressure regulator knob
The knob can be adjusted to regulate the pressure at the air line outlet of the compressor. Turn the
knob clockwise to increase pressure and counter-clockwise to decrease pressure.
ON/OFF switch
This switch is operated manually to turn ON or OFF the compressor. When switch is in the AUTO
position, the compressor shuts down or starts up automatically based on air pressure level in the air
tank. Always set this switch to OFF position when the compressor is not being used and before
unplugging the compressor.
Pump
The pump is used to compress the air and discharge the compressed air into the air tank through a
reciprocating piston.
