1. The air compressor must be turned OFF.
2. Disconnect compressor from the power source.
3. Open tank drain to bleed off all air pressure before attempting any maintenance
or repair.
4. Allow compressor to fully cool before attempting any maintenance or repair.
5. Grasp the wire ring on the safety relief valve.
6. Pull and release the ring a few times to ensure that the plunger moves in and out.
Replace the safety relief valve if plunger does not move or is difficult to move.

Moisture is a normal by-product of compressing air. As the moisture builds during
compressor use, it can be carried though the air hose. When using paint spray gun
or sandblasting gun, the use of a special filter to remove moisture from the air line
is highly recommended. Moisture in the compressed air will cause water spots in
paint jobs and cause blasting media to clog the sandblasting gun.
