Maintenance

Changing Oil

To drain the oil from the Pump Crankcase:

Draining Moisture from the Tank

The Drain Valve is located under the Tank. It must be accessed daily to release all trapped air and moisture from the Tank. This will eliminate condensation which can cause tank corrosion.

To empty the air and condensation:

a.Make sure the compressor engine is off.

b.Place a collection pan under the Drain Valve.

c.Open the Drain Valve by pivoting the lever on the bottom of the Compressor so the lever is in line with the Drain Valve.

d.When all the pressure is released, close the Drain Valve by pivoting the lever on the bottom of the compressor so that the lever is perpendicular to the Drain Valve.

Air Filter Maintenance

Check the Air Filter weekly to see if it needs replacement. If working in dirty environments, you may need to replace the filter more often. To replace the Air Filter:

a.Unthread the Wing Nut holding the Air Filter Assembly in place.

b.Remove the Air Filter Assembly.

c.Replace with a new Air Filter.

d.Secure in place with the Wing Nut.
