If there’s an excessive accumulation of condensate during compressor operation or the system is not
depressurised after use, the condensate should be evacuated manually by turning the drain valve
handle until the arrow symbol is pointing vertically downwards (▼).
Should it become necessary to clean out the condensate drain bowl, always depressurise the system
before removing the bowl’s outer guard.
The internal filter element will become clogged and contaminated after extended use and also the
condensate bowl and various O-rings / seals will undergo some degradation. For optimal
performance and safety, it is recommended to replace the entire filter-regulator periodically.
7.6 Air Filters
Do not operate the compressor without its air filter(s) installed or if the filter element(s) is clogged or
damaged.
On Fusheng A-Series compressor pumps, each air filter element can be accessed by unscrewing the
wing nut on the air filter casing and pulling off the front cover. On B-Series pumps, it is necessary to
release the toggle clamps on either side of the air filter cover to gain access to the air filter element.
Refer to Figure 7-1.
Remove the filter element away from the unit and use compressed air to gently blow it clean from
the inside out, but do not wash or oil the element. If it cannot be blown clean or is otherwise torn or
damaged, the filter element must be replaced. Wear eye and ear protection when blowing out the
filter element.

7.7 Safety Valve
Regularly check the safety valve to verify that it’s operating freely. While the air receiver tank is
pressurised to at least 650 kPa (94 psi), pull the ring on the safety valve and allow it to snap back to
its normal position. If air leaks out after the ring has been released, or the valve is stuck and cannot
be actuated by pulling the ring, the safety valve is faulty and must be replaced before operating the
compressor.
Take care when testing the safety valve as compressed air will discharge from the valve with high
velocity and loud noise; wear eye and ear protection.
