Drain the 

tank

Through normal operation of your 

compressor, condensation of water 

will accumulate in the tank. To prevent 

corrosion of the tank from the inside, 

condensation must be drained twice a 

day. Be sure to wear safety glasses. 

Relieve the air pressure in the system 

then open the drain valve on the bottom 

of the tank to drain. Under cold condi

-

tions it is especially important to drain 

the tank after each use to reduce the 

chance of problems resulting from the 

freezing of condensation water.

NOTE: Refer to instructions on how to 
drain tank.

Twice a 

day

Test for 

leaks

Check that all connections are tight. 

Small leaks in the tank, hoses, connec-

tions or transfer tubes will substantially 

reduce the compressor and tool perfor-

mance. Spray a small amount of soapy 

water around the area of suspected 

leaks with a spray bottle. If bubbles 

appear, repair, replace or reseal the 

faulty component. Do not over-tighten 

any connections.

How to drain tank

1.

 Set the pressure switch (1) to the OFF position (Fig. D).

2.

 Unplug the power cord (2) (Fig. I).

3.

 Turn air pressure regulator knob counter-clockwise 

to set the outlet pressure to zero (Fig. G)

4.

 Place suitable container under unit to catch water.

5. 

Slightly tilt unit and gently turn drain valve coun-

ter-clockwise to open. (Fig. H)

6.

 After the water has been drained,close the drain 

valve (clockwise) (Fig. E). The air compressor can now 

be stored.

Storage

Before storing the air compressor:

1. 

Drain tank

2.

 Use an air blow gun to clean all dust and debris from 

the compressor.

3.

 Disconnect and wind up the power cord.

4.

 Clean the ventilation openings on the motor enclo-

sure with a damp cloth.

5.

 Drain all moisture from the tank.

WARNING:

• 

Storage covers could cause a fire resulting in death 

or serious injury.

•  Do not place a storage cover over a hot air com-

pressor.

• 

Let equipment cool for a sufficient time before plac

-

ing the cover on the equipment.

•  Store the air compressor in a clean and dry loca-

tion.

• 

In cold weather, store the compressor in a warm 

building when it is not in use. This will reduce prob-

lems related to starting the motor and the freezing 

of water condensation.
