TroubleshootingFunctions of parts in Hitachi air compressors
The Hitachi air compressor safety valve protects your air compressor from exploding in the event of a fault. The safety valve is set to a certain value. When the pressure in the oil tank increases to the initially set value, the valve will automatically open and push the compressed air out. This mechanism is to protect the air compressor and the user, preventing the engine from exploding due to increased pressure.
