1.Change the oil in the air compressor pump as described in Changing Oil on Page 20.

Quarterly

After every 300 working hours or 3 months, perform the following maintenance:

1.Change the oil in the air compressor pump as described in Changing Oil on Page 20.

2.Check for air leaks and correct as needed.

Draining Tank

Some water may accumulate in the tank depending on usage and humidity. Drain water from the tank daily to increase the lifespan of the compressor and air tools.

To drain the tank:

1.Leave the tank pressurized and open the drain valve, shown in Figure 11, to drain the water out of the tank.

Note: Draining the air from the tank will be extremely loud. Wear ear protection when draining the tank.

Pressure Safety

Valve

The pressure safety valve prevents dam- age to the tank by releasing pressure when the tank reaches maximum capacity.

To check the pressure safety valve:

1.Locate the pressure safety valve shown in Figure 12.

Releasing the safety valve can be extremely loud. Protect your hearing with ANSI approved ear protection.

2.Clean any dirt or dust from the pres- sure safety valve.

3.Pull the metal ring on top of the safety valve to ensure the valve will release air. The pressure safety valve must be replaced if it cannot be pulled, or if it leaks after releasing pressure.

Note: The safety valve is preset to release air if the tank exceeds its maxi- mum pressure. DO NOT try to adjust the safety valve pressure setting!
