WARNING: Risk of Unsafe Operation. Air tanks contain high pressure air. Keep face and other body parts away from outlet of drain. Use ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3) when draining as debris can be kicked up into face.
WARNING: Risk from noise. Always wear proper hearing protection during use. Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from this product may contribute to hearing loss.
NOTE: All compressed air systems generate condensate that accumulates in any drain point (e.g., tanks, filter, aftercoolers, dryers). This condensate contains lubricating oil and/or substances which may be regulated and must be disposed of in accordance with local, state, and federal laws and regulations.
WARNING: 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.
NOTICE: Risk of Property Damage. Drain water from air tank may contain oil and rust which can cause stains.
1.Set the On/Off switch (A) to OFF.
2.Turn the regulator knob (D) counterclockwise to set the outlet pressure to zero.
3.Remove the air tool or accessory.
4.Place a suitable container under the drain valve to catch discharge.
5.Pull ring on safety valve (F) allowing air to bleed from the tank until tank pressure is approximately 20 psi. Release safety valve ring.
6.Drain water from air tank by opening drain valve (G) on bottom of tank.
7.After the water has been drained, close the drain valve. The air compressor can now be stored.
