To Drain Tank
1.Set the On/Auto/Off lever to “OFF”.
2.Close the globe valve.
3.Remove the air tool or accessory.
4.Open the globe valve and allow the air to slowly bleed from the air tank until tank pressure is approximately 20 psi.
5.Close the globe valve.
6.Drain water from air tank by opening drain valve
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 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, and reinstalled.
Oil
Drain tank to release air pressure before removing the oil fill cap or oil drain plug.
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.
NOTE: Oil is included with some units. If oil is not included, use an oil specifically formulated for use in an air compressor, such as
Changing
1.Remove the oil fill plug (A).
2.Remove the oil drain plug (B) and drain oil into a suitable container.
3.Replace the oil drain plug (B) and tighten securely.
4.Slowly fill crankcase to the top of the fill hole. NOTE: Crankcase oil capacity is approximately 16 fluid ouncs (473.2 ml)
A
B
Overfilling with oil will cause premature compressor failure. Do not overfill.
5.Replace oil fill plug (A) and tighten securely.
