STORAGE

Before you store the air compressor, make sure you do the following:

1.Review the "Maintenance" section on the preceding pages and perform scheduled maintenance as necessary.

2.Set the On/Auto/Off lever to “OFF”.

3.Close the globe valve.

4.Remove the air tool or accessory.

5.Open the globe valve and allow the air to slowly bleed from the air tank until tank pressure is approximately 20 psi.

6.Drain water from air tank by opening drain valve (counter- clockwise) on bottom of tank.

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.

7.After the water has been drained, close the drain or drain valve.

NOTE: If drain valve is plugged, release all air pressure. The valve can then be removed, cleaned, then reinstalled.

8.Protect the air hose from damage (such as being stepped on or run over).
