NOTE: See "Operation" section for
the location of controls.
Risk of Unsafe
Operation. Unit
cycles automatically when power is
on. When performing maintenance,
you may be exposed to voltage
sources, compressed air, or
moving parts. Personal injuries can
occur. Before performing any
maintenance or repair, disconnect
power source from the compressor
and bleed off all air pressure.
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.
1. 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, contact a trained
service technician.
To Drain Tank
NOTICE: Allow unit to cool before
draining tank, drain valve becomes
hot during operation.
1.
Set the Off/Auto-On switch to
"Off".
2. Turn the regulator knob counter-
clockwise to set the outlet
pressure to zero.
3. Pull and hold ring on safety valve
allowing air to bleed from the
tank until air pressure is
minimized.
4. Place unit on blocks to lift unit off
of ground.
5. Place suitable container under
unit to catch water.
6. Slightly tilt unit and turn drain
valve counter clockwise to open.
7. Place unit back onto blocks to
drain water from air 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.
8.
After the water has been drained,
close the drain valve (clockwise).
The air compressor can now be
stored.
