DeWalt DeVILBISS To Drain Tank, Oil, Checking, Changing, Air Filter Inspection and Replacement

To Drain Tank

1.Set the On/Auto/Off lever to "Off".

2.Pull the regulator knob out and turn counter 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 (counter- clockwise) on bottom of tank.

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.

Oil

Drain tank to release air pressure

before removing the oil fill cap or oil drain plug.

Checking

1.Remove the oil fill plug (A). The

2.If needed, slowly add oil until it reaches the top of fill hole.

NOTE: Oil is included with some units. If oil is not included, use an oil specifically formulated for use in an air compressor, such as Porter-Cable PAS1 air compressor oil. Oil may be found at the store where the air compressor was purchased.

Changing

1.Remove the oil fill plug (A).

2.Remove the oil drain plug (B) and drain oil into a suitable container.

3.Replace the oil drain plug (B) and tighten securely

4.Slowly fill crankcase to the top of the fill hole. NOTE: Crankcase oil capacity is approximately 16 fluid ounces (473.2 ml).

Over filling with oil will cause

premature compressor failure. Do not overfill.

5.Replace oil fill plug (A) and tighten securely.

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.

Keep the air filter clean at all times.

Do not operate the air compressor with the air filter removed.

A dirty air filter will not allow the compressor pump to operate at full capacity. Before using the compressor pump, check the air filter to make sure it is clean and in place.

If it is dirty, replace it with a new filter.
