Draining condensed water
NOTICE!
Risk of damage!
Tipping the compressor over too far or turning it upside down could cause oil to
leak and the compressor could be damaged as a result.
− Never tip the compressor by more than 10°.
− Never turn the compressor upside down.
− Only open the drain cock if the compressor has been set up properly.
NOTICE!
Risk of damage!
If there is compressed air in the compressed air tank, the condensed water is
released at high pressure when the drain cock is opened.
− Reduce the tank pressure.
− Always be careful when opening the drain cock and don’t unscrew it all
the way.
NOTICE!
Risk of pollution!
The condensed water contains oil. If it ends up in the environment or the sewer
system, it will pollute the environment.
− Only dispose of condensed water containing oil as hazardous waste in
accordance with local regulations.
Proceed as follows to drain the condensed water:
1. Set the On/Off switch
19
to the “0” position (see fig. G).
2. Disconnect the mains plug before cleaning.
3. Let the compressor cool off completely.
4. Reduce the tank pressure to approx. 1 – 2 bar via a connected pneumatic tool (e.g.
a blow gun).
5. Place a collecting container under the drain cock for condensed water
5
(see fig. A).
6. Carefully open the drain cock for condensed water by hand; if applicable, use a dry
cloth for better grip.
