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. 16.
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.
