Safety Valve-Inspection and Replacement

If the safety valve does not work properly, over-pressuriza- tion can occur and cause air tank rupture or explosion.

Daily pull the ring on the safety valve and make sure it operates freely. If the valve is stuck or does not operate smoothly, it must be replaced with the same type of valve having an identical pressure rating.

To Remove Safety Valve:

1.Make sure the air compressor unit is off and disconnect the

	spark plug wire.	A
2.	Open the outlet valve and allow
	all air to bleed from the tank.
	Monitor tank pressure gauge as
	tank is emptied.
3.	When tank is empty, remove
	safety valve (A) from manifold.
	Refer to Figure.

To Install New Safety Valve:

1.Verify new safety valve is the

correct pressure rating for your air compressor.
