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.
NOTE: See Operation section for the location of controls.
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
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, it must be replaced with the same type of valve.
To Drain Tank
Risk of Unsafe Operation. Risk from noise. Air tanks contain high
pressure air. Keep face and other body parts away from outlet of
drain. Use ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3) when draining as debris can be kicked up into face. Use ear protection (ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection) as air flow noise is loud when draining.
1.Set the On/Auto/Off lever to "Off".
2.Pull the regulator knob out and turn counterclockwise to set the outlet pressure 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 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. 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.
