Drain tap

moisture. The excess air will also help purge the moisture. Leave
the drain tap open when air compressor is not in use, so any
moisture can continue to drain.
To open the drain tap pull the lever down to vertical. Pic. 12.
To seal the drain tap push the lever up to horizontal. Pic. 13.
NOTE: Remember to seal the drain tap before starting the
air compressor.

Note: This air compressor has a maximum pressure of 8
bar. Always regulate the air pressure to match your air tool.
Different air tools require different operating pressures. Always
check with the tool manufacturer if unsure.
Safety valve
NOTE: When checking the safety valve ALWAYS wear safety
glasses.
To check the operation of the safety valve the air tank will need
to be full. Gently pull the ring outwards. This should release air
under pressure. Release the ring and this should stop the air
out flow immediately, once pressure decreases, Pic. 15.
If the safety valve does NOT work in this manner, STOP the air
compressor immediately and have the air compressor checked
/ serviced by an authorised service facility.
