GENERAL MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

Always note position and orientation of parts as removed to assure correct repositioning when
reassembling.
Air filter
Inspect air filter before each use. Clean filter pad with soap and water as necessary. If filter becomes
clogged or damaged, replace it.
Never clean air filter with a flammable liquid or solvent. Explosive vapors may
accumulate in the air tanks and cause an explosion, resulting in serious injury or death.
CAUTION: Do not operate air compressor without air filter.
Storage Tanks
Storage tanks should be drained after each use or after every four hours of operation to prevent
condensation build-up and corrosion inside tank. To drain tanks, slowly and carefully open drain
fittings tip unit towards drain and allow water to drain out.
NOTE:When draining tanks, watch for debris (rust particles). If there appears to be debris in water,
contact your dealer for possible tank replacement.
Failure to regularly drain tank may cause tank corrosion and risk of tank explosion,
resulting in serious injury. To avoid risk of tank failure during use, drain tank after each use or every
four hours to prevent condensation build-up and corrosion inside tank.
If warranty service or repairs are needed contact your nearest authorized service center. If one does
not exist, contact the factory. Unauthorized teardown of the unit will void the factory warranty.
