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 (counter-clockwise) on bottom of tank.

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, then reinstalled.

Oil

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: Use a air compressor oil such as SAE-20 (API CG/CD heavy duty motor oil. Under extreme winter con- ditions use SAE-10 weight oil.

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

NOTE: Use a air compressor oil such as SAE-20 (API CG/CD heavy duty motor oil. Under extreme winter conditions use SAE-10 weight oil.

4.Slowly fill crankcase to the top of the fill hole. Crankcase capacity is 16 fluid ounces (473.2 ml).

Overfilling with oil will cause premature compressor failure. Do not overfill.

5.Replace oil fill plug (A) and tighten securely.

Air Filter - Inspection and Replacement

Hot surfaces. Risk of burn. Compressor heads are exposed when filter cover is removed. Allow com-

pressor to cool prior to servicing.

Keep the air filter clean at all times. Do not operate the air compressor with the air filter removed.
