TO CHECk SAFETY VALVE
Risk of bursting. If the safety valve does not work properly,
over-pressurization may occur, causing air tank rupture or an explosion.
Risk from flying objects. Always wear certified safety
equipment: ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3) with side shields.
before starting compressor, pull the ring on the safety valve to make sure that the
safety valve operates freely. If the valve is stuck or does not operate smoothly, it
must be replaced with the same type of valve.
TO DRAIN TANk
Risk of unsafe operation. Air tanks contain high pressure air.
keep face and other body parts away from outlet of drain. Use eye protection
[ANSI Z87.1 (CAN/CSA Z94.3)] when draining as debris can be kicked up into
face.
Risk from noise. Use ear protection (ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) as air
flow noise is loud when draining.
NOTE: all compressed air systems generate condensate that accumulates in
any drain point (e.g., tanks, filter, aftercoolers, dryers). This condensate contains
lubricating oil and/or substances which may be regulated and must be disposed of in
accordance with local, state, and federal laws and regulations.
1. Set the auto/off lever to "off" and unplug unit.
2. Pull the regulator knob out and turn counterclockwise to set the outlet pres-
sure to zero.
3. Remove the air tool or accessory.
4. Pull ring on safety valve allowing air to bleed from the tank until tank pressure
is approximately 20 psi. Release safety valve ring.
5. Drain water from air tank by opening drain valve (counterclockwise) on bottom
of tank.
Risk of Bursting. Water will condense in the air tank. If not
drained, water will corrode and weaken the air tank causing a risk of air tank
rupture.
Risk of Property Damage. Drain water from air tank may contain oil
and rust which can cause stains.
6. after the water has been drained, close the drain valve (clockwise). The air
compressor can now be stored.
NOTE: If drain valve is plugged, release all air pressure. The valve can then be
removed, cleaned, the reinstalled.
AIR FILTER - INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT
Hot surfaces. Risk of burn. Compressor heads are exposed
when filter cover is removed. Allow compressor to cool prior to servicing.
Risk of Property Damage. Keep the air filter clean at all times. Do
not operate the air compressor with the air filter removed.
a dirty air filter will not allow the compressor pump to operate at full capacity.
before using the compressor pump, check the air filter to make sure it is clean
and in place.
