NOTE: All compressed air systems generate condensate that accumulates in any drain
point (e.g., tanks, filter, outlet tubes, 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.
Risk of Bursting. Water will condense in the air tank. If not

Risk of Property Damage. Drain water from air tank may contain oil
and rust which can cause stains.

5. Pull ring on safety valve (F, Fig. 5) allowing air to bleed from the tank until tank
pressure is approximately 20 psi. Release safety valve ring.
6. Drain water from air tank by opening drain valves (K) on bottom of tanks.
