To Drain Tank
NOTE: Operation of the air compressor will cause condensation to build up in the air tank. Always drain tank on a washable surface or in a suitable container to prevent damaging or staining surfaces.
1.Set the On/Auto/Off lever to "Off".
2.Pull the regulator knob out and turn counterclockwise to set the outlet pressure to zero.
3.Remove the air tool or accessory.
4.Pull ring on safety valve allowing air to bleed from the tank until tank pressure is approximately 20 psi. Release safety valve ring.
5.Drain water from air tank by opening drain valve (counter- clockwise) on bottom of tank.
Risk of Bursting. 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, then reinstalled.
Oil
NOTE: Use an oil specifically formulated for use in an air compressor, such as
NOTE: Crankcase oil capacity is approximately 16 fluid ounces.
Checking
1.Remove the oil fill plug (A). The oil level should be even with the top of the fill hole and no lower than 6 threads from the top of fill hole.
2.If needed, slowly add oil until it reaches the top of fill hole.
Changing
1.Remove the oil fill plug (A).
2.Remove the oil drain plug (B) and drain oil
into a suitable container.

| ||||
| crankcase to |

|
|
|
|
| |
| fill hole. NOTE: When filling the | ||||
| crankcase, the oil flows very | ||||
| slowly into the pump. If the oil is | ||||
| added too quickly, it will overflow | ||||
| and appear to be full. |

Risk of Unsafe Operation.
Overfilling with oil will cause premature compressor failure. Do not overfill.
5.Replace oil fill plug (A) and tighten securely.
