Porter-Cable N078948 - Manual (Page 12)

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 air pressure to remain inside
the air tank.
Motor Overload Protector (not shown): The motor has an automatic reset
thermal overload protector. If the motor overheats for any reason, the overload
protector will shut off the motor. The motor must be allowed to cool down before
restarting. The compressor will automatically restart after the motor cools.
Quick-Connect Coupler: The quick connect coupler accepts industrial quick
connect plugs. The two quick connect couplers allow the use of two tools at the
same time.
