STORAGE
Before you store the air compressor, make sure you do the following:
1.Review the "Maintenance" section on the preceding pages and perform scheduled maintenance as necessary.
2.Set the On/Off switch to OFF (O) and unplug unit.
3.Turn the regulator counterclockwise and set the outlet pressure to zero.
4.Remove the air tool or accessory.
5.Pull ring on safety valve 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 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.
7.After the water has been drained, close drain valve by turning clockwise.
NOTE: If drain valve is plugged, release all air pressure. The valve can then be removed, cleaned, then reinstalled.
8.Protect the electrical cord and air hose from damage (such as being stepped on or run over).
9.Store the air compressor in a clean and dry location.
