Air Compressor Pump (not shown): Compresses Check Valve air into the air tank. Working air is not available until the compressor has raised the air tank pressure above that required at the air outlet. Check Valve: When the air compressor is operating, the check valve is "open", allowing compressed air to enter the air tank. When the air compressor reaches "cut-out" pressure, the check valve "closes", allowing Pressure air pressure to remain inside the air tank. Release Valve Pressure Release V
