Kuzma AIR LINE 2007-6 - Manual (Page 3)

General description: Main outer box contains two inner boxes. One box contains the
compressor with oil and PVC drain bottle and the second box contains the tonearm with all
spare parts: Allen keys, armbase, geometry protractor and PVC tubing.
Oil lubricated electric compressors, which are the quietest on the market supply the air. The
compressor has a cylinder (head) where air is compressed and then is stored in a reservoir. On
the outlet of the reservoir is an automatic sensor system which measures the pressure inside
the reservoir. When the air pressure drops below a certain level, the system automatically
starts the compressor head and fills the reservoir to a higher pressure, at which point the
system automatically switches off. On the outlet of the reservoir there is an air filter and
pressure regulator, which keep the air pressure on the chosen level of 4.5 bar (60 psi). Due to
compression, moisture in the air is collected in the system. This is automatically drained by an
electronic device and mechanically with an automatic drain system. Water (with a little oil) is
collected into a plastic bottle from the reservoir, filter and from the automatic sensor system
(three black tubes). Red filters stand separately and they dry the air further and remove any
oil mist from the compressed air. This is automatically drained into holder stands. The
compressor is equipped with a safety valve and switches off in case of overheating. The
whole system is easily maintained and simple to use.
