Model G0466/G0469 Air Compressors - 14
-
Always disconnect the air hose from
tools whenever not in use or while
servicing! During maintenance, a
tool connected to air may operate
accidentally, causing serious per-
sonal injury!
When storing your air compressor, fol-
low these guidelines:
1. Turn the compressor switch lever to
OFF.
2. Unplug the compressor.
3. Turn the regulator counterclockwise to
set the line pressure to zero.
4. Run the air tool to relieve the air pres-
sure in the hose, then remove the air
hose and the tool.
5. Drain water from the tank as instructed
in Draining Tank on Page 16. Leave
the valve open until the next usage.
Note: Draining the air from the tank will
be extremely loud. Wear ear protection
when draining the tank.
6. Store the air compressor in its normal
operating position in a cool protected
area.
Storage
Water will condense in the air com-
pressor tank. Water left in the tank
can cause the tank to weaken and
corrode, increasing the risk of tank
rupture.
Failure to unplug the air compres-
sor before storage may result in the
compressor running continuously,
causing overheating, damage to the
compressor, and possibly a fire.
