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 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

1.Set the Auto/On/Off switch to "OFF".

2.Turn regulator knob 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 (counter-clockwise) on bottom of tank. NOTE: Tilt tank forward to drain tank completely.

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, then reinstalled.

ALL MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR OPERATIONS NOT LISTED MUST BE PERFORMED BY TRAINED SERVICE TECHNICIAN.
