To Check Safety Valve (Fig. C)

WARNING: Risk of Bursting. If the safety valve
does not work properly, over-pressurization may
occur, causing air tank rupture or an explosion.

WARNING: Risk from Flying Objects. Always
wear certified safety equipment: ANSI Z87.1 eye
protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3) with sideshields.
Before starting compressor, pull the ring on the safety
valve
6
to make sure that the safety valve operates freely. If
the valve is stuck or does not operate smoothly, it must be
replaced with the same type ofvalve.

To Drain Tank (Fig. A, D)

WARNING: Risk of Unsafe Operation. Air tanks
contain high pressure air. Keep face and other
body parts away from outlet of drain. Use
ANSIZ87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3) when
draining as debris can be kicked up into face.

WARNING: Risk from noise. Always wear proper
hearing protection during use. Under some
conditions and duration of use, noise from this
product may contribute to hearingloss.
NOTE: All compressed air systems generate condensate
that accumulates in any drain point (e.g., tanks, filter,
aftercoolers, dryers). This condensate contains lubricating
oil and/or substances which may be regulated and must be
disposed of in accordance with local, state, and federal laws
andregulations.

WARNING: Risk of Bursting. 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.
NOTICE: Risk of Property Damage. Drain water
from air tank may contain oil and rust which can
causestains.
1. Set the On/Off switch
1
to “Off”.
2. Turn the regulator knob
4
counterclockwise to set the
outlet pressure tozero.
3. Remove the air tool oraccessory.
4. Place a suitable container under the drain valve to
catchdischarge.
5. Pull ring on safety valve
6
allowing air to bleed from
the tank until tank pressure is approximately 20psig.
Release safety valvering.
6. Drain water from air tank by opening drain valve
7
on
bottom oftank.

7. After the water has been drained, close the drain valve.
The air compressor can now bestored.
NOTE: If drain valve is plugged, release all air pressure. The
valve can then be removed, cleaned, thereinstalled.
Cleaning

WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of all air vents with
clean, dry air at least once a week. To minimize the risk
of eye injury, always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved eye
protection when performingthis procedure.

WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh
chemicals for cleaning the non-metallic parts of
the tool. These chemicals may weaken the plastic
materials used in these parts. Use a cloth dampened
only with water and mild soap. Never let any liquid
get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool
into aliquid.
Storage
Before you store the air compressor, make sure you do
thefollowing:
1. Review the Maintenance section on the preceding
pages and perform scheduled maintenance
asnecessary.
2. Drain water from air tank. See To Drain Tank
underMaintenance.
