Flexzilla Electric Operated, Oil-Free Portable Air Compressors
Shung down the compressor:
1.) Turn the power switch to the OFF posion.
2.) Disconnect the power cord from the power supply
and wrap the power cord around the air
compressor handle to reduce the risk of damage.
3.) Release all the pressure and moisture from the air
tank by manually opening the drain valve.
4.) Clean the air compressor to remove all dirt
and dust.
Before storing for a prolonged period of me:
5.) Cover the air compressor to protect the unit from
dust and moisture.
6.) Do not stack or store any items on top of or around
the air compressor. Damage could occur.
4. MAINTENANCE
4.1 Cleaning
Clean items with a so brush, or wipe with a
moistened cloth using a biodegradable solvent.
Do not use ammable liquids such a gasoline or
alcohol. Always keep parts clean from dirt and dust for
beer performance.
4.2 Cleaning or Changing the Air Filter
The air lter is designed to reduce noise and help
prevent parculates in the air from entering and
damaging the air compressor.
Aer being used for a period of me, the air lter
will become clogged. This will reduce the air
intake capabilies of the air compressor, reducing
performance. Therefore, the air lter must be cleaned
or replaced regularly.
1.) Open the lid on the air lter, then remove the air
lter element.
2.) To clean the element, blow o or brush o the dirt
and dust.
3.) If clogged, replace with a new air lter.
4.3 Draining the Air Tank
The frequency at which you should drain the air
tank depends on the environmental condions and
the amount of operaon me logged. The average
draining frequency is every 1 to 2 days.
1.) Place the air compressor above a container
capable of holding water.
2.) With compressed air in the air tank, slowly turn
the drain valve knob to the forward (open) or
straight posion. The water in the air tank will
drain out.
3.) Aer all of the accumulated water has drained out,
turn the drain valve knob to the closed or le
posion in order to avoid leakage.
4.) Draining the air tank protects parts from rust and
corrosion.
4.4 Pressure Switch
The pressure switch is factory pre-set to shut o at
between 120-125 PSI and restart at between
90-95 PSI.
4.5 Tesng for Leaks
Make sure all connecons are ght. Do not
overghten.
A small leak in any hose or pipe connecon will
reduce the air compressor’s performance.
To test for small leaks, spray a small amount of soapy
water on the area suspected of leaking. If the soap
bubbles, replace the broken part.
