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 ensure efficient operation and longer life of the air compressor outfit, a routine maintenance schedule should be prepared and followed. The following routine maintenance schedule is geared to an outfit in a normal working environment operating on a daily basis. If necessary, the schedule should be modified to suit the conditions under which your compressor is used. The modifications will depend upon the hours of operation and the work- ing environment. Compressor outfits in an extremely dirty and/or hostile environment will require a greater fre- quency of all maintenance checks.
NOTE: See “Operation” section for the location of controls.
To Check Safety Valve
If the safety valve does not work properly, over-
pressurization may occur, causing air tank rupture or an explosion. Before starting com- pressor, 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
1.Set the On/Auto/Off lever to “OFF”.
2.Pull the regulator knob out and turn clockwise 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
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.
6.After the water has been drained, close the drain valve (clockwise). 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 rein- stalled.
Air Filter - Inspection and Replacement
Hot surfaces. Risk of burn. Compressor heads
are exposed when filter cover is removed. Allow compressor to cool prior to servicing.
A dirty air filter will not allow the compressor to oper- ate at full capacity. Keep the air filter clean at all times.
1.Remove the air filter cover.
