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.
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 OperationAir 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.
Risk from noise. Use ear protection
[ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection] as air flow noise is loud when draining.
NOTE: All compressed air systems generate condensate that accumulates in any drain point (e.g., tanks, filter, after- coolers, dryers). This condensate con- tains lubricating oil and/or substances which may be regulated and must be disposed of in accordance with local, state, and federal laws and regulations.
1.Set the Auto/Off switch to "Off" and unplug unit.
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 open- ing drain valve
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 (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
Hot surfaces. Risk of burn. Outlet
tube, pump head, and surrounding parts are very hot, do not touch. Allow compressor to cool prior to servicing.
1.Place Auto/Off switch to "Off".
2.Allow unit to cool.
3.Remove filter cover from base.
4.Remove element from filter base.
5.Place new element back in filter base. Purchase replacement parts from your local dealer or autho- rized service center. Always use identical replacement parts.
6.Snap filter cover to filter base.
Risk of property damage. Do not
operate without air inlet filter
