5.Drain water from air tank by opening drain valve
Risk of 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.
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
Risk of Bursting. Drain tank to release air pressure before removing the dipstick or oil drain plug. See “To Drain
Tank” in this section.
Risk of Burns. Compressor head and cylinder sleeve are very hot. Do not touch. Allow compressor to cool prior
to servicing.
Risk from Flying Objects. Make sure air
vent (C) in dipstick is free from debris. If air vent is blocked pressure can build in crankcase causing damage to air compressor and possible personal injury. See Troubleshooting for correction.
Risk of Unsafe Operation. Overfilling
with oil will cause premature compressor failure. Do not overfill.
