4.Open Drain Valve to fully drain air tank.

NOTE:Always drain air tank over a washable surface or in a suitable container to prevent damaging or staining surfaces.

NOTE: The compressor generates condensation water (condensate) that accumulates in the air tank. Drain the condensate every 4 hours or daily.

5. Close Drain Valve.

Extension Cords

NOTE:Avoid use of extension cords.

The air compressor should be located where it can be directly plugged into a grounded outlet. DO NOT use an extension cord unless absolutely necessary. Instead, increase the working reach of the air hose by attaching two or more air hoses together.

If the use of an extension cord cannot be avoided, use these guidelines:

•Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug, and a 3-slot outlet that will accept the plug from the air compressor.

•Make sure the cord is in good condition.

•When compressor is used outdoors, use only extension cords marked “Intended for Outdoor Use”.

•Follow these length restrictions:
