STORAGE

Before you store the air compressor,
make sure you do the following:

1. Review

the

"Maintenance"

section on the preceding
pages and perform scheduled
maintenance as necessary.

2. Set the On/Off switch to OFF (O)

and unplug unit.

3. Turn the regulator

counterclockwise and set the
outlet pressure to zero.

4. Remove the air tool or accessory.

5. Pull ring on safety valve allowing

air to bleed from the tank until
tank pressure is approximately 20
psi. Release safety valve ring.

6. Drain water from air tank by

opening drain valve 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.

7. After the water has been drained,

close drain valve by turning
clockwise.

NOTE: If drain valve is plugged,
release all air pressure. The valve
can then be removed, cleaned, then
reinstalled.

8.

Protect the electrical cord and
air hose from damage (such as
being stepped on or run over).
Wind them loosely around the
compressor handle.

9. Store the air compressor in a

clean and dry location.
