Maintenance
1. After each day of operation,
use the drain cock (13) underO the tank to drain out any
condensation (Fig. O).
2.After each day of operation check daily the operation of the safety valve (10). This check should be performed when the tank contains close to max pressure.
To check the valve, pressurise the tank, and pull the ring OUTWARDS on the safety valve.
Air should discharge from the valve.
Release the ring of the safety valve. When the ring is released the air discharge must stop.
WARNINGS.
Safety glasses must be worn when performing this test.
Do not have your face close to the safety valve when performing this test as air will discharge from the valve at a high force.
If the safety valve does not operate correctly in any way as described above, turn off the compressor immediately and have the compressor and safety valve checked and tested at an authorised Service centre.
DO NOT CONTINUE TO USE THE COMPRESSOR IN ANY WAY IF THE SAFETY VALVE DOES NOT WORK AS ABOVE.
General inspection
