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, the reinstalled.
Air Filter - Inspection and Replacement
Hot surfaces. Risk of burn.
Compressor heads are exposed when filter cover is removed. Allow compressor to cool prior to servicing.
A dirty air filter will not allow the compressor to operate at full capacity. Keep the air filter clean at all times.
1.Remove the air filter and make sure it is clean.
Air Filter
3.Replace air filter.
NOTE: If the air filter is extremely dirty it will need to be replaced. Refer to the “Repair Parts” for the correct part number.
Air Compressor Pump Intake and Exhaust Valves
Once a year have a Trained Service Technician check the air compressor pump intake and exhaust valves.
Motor
The motor has an automatic reset thermal overload protector. If the motor overheats for any reason, the overload protector will shut off the motor. The motor must be allowed to cool down before restarting. The compressor will automatically restart after the motor cools.
If the overload protector shuts the motor off frequently, check for a possible voltage problem. Low voltage can also be suspected when:
1.The motor does not get up to full power or speed.
2.Fuses blow out when starting the motor; lights dim and remain dim when motor is started and is running.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate the compressor with the air filter removed.
2.If dirty, rinse air filter with warm water and squeeze dry.
