To Drain Tank
Risk of unsafe operation. Air tanks contain high pressure air. Keep face and other body parts away from outlet of drain. Use eye protection [ANSI Z87.1 (CAN/CSA Z94.3)] when draining as debris can be kicked up into face.
Risk from noise. Use ear protection (ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) as air flow noise is loud when draining.
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.
1.Set the Auto/Off lever to "Off" and unplug unit.
2.Pull the regulator knob out and turn counterclockwise to set the outlet pres- sure 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 (counterclockwise) 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.
Risk of Property Damage. Drain water from air tank may contain oil and rust which can cause stains.
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.
Oil
Risk of property damage. Use air compressor oil only.
NOTE: Use 30W compressor oil or a heavy duty SAE 30W,
NOTE: Crankcase oil capacity is approximately 16 fluid ounces (0.47 L).
Checking
1.The oil level should be to the middle of the sight glass (C).
2.If needed remove oil fill plug (A) and slowly add oil until it reaches the middle of the sight glass.
Changing
1.Remove the oil fill plug (A).
2.Remove the oil drain plug (B) and drain oil into a suitable container.
