AIR COMPRESSOR

MAINTeNANCe

draining the air tank

The frequency at which you should drain the air tank depends on

the environmental conditions and the amount of operating time

logged. 
your air compressor is equiped with an eZ-1 Auto drain Valve

that automatically drains the air tank.

1.

Place the drain hose in a container capable of holding water. 

2.

The Auto drain Valve will open at the beginning of a cycle to

drain the water out of the air tank.

3. 

draining the air tank protects parts from rust and corrosion.

4. 

Manually draining the tank will remove any excess moisture.

cleaning or changing the air filter

The air filter is designed to reduce noise and  help prevent

particulates in the air from entering and damaging the air

compressor.
After being used for a period of time, the air filter will become

clogged. This will reduce the air intake capabilities of the air

compressor, reducing performance. Therefore, the air filter must

be cleaned or replaced regularly.

1.

Open the lid on the air filter, then remove the air filter element.

2.

To clean the element blow off or brush off the dirt and dust.

3.

If clogged, replace with a new air filter.

testing for Leaks

Make sure all connections are tight. do not overtightly.
A small leak in any hose or pipe connection 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.

cleaning

Clean items with a soft brush, or wipe with a moistened cloth

using a biodegradable solvent.
do not use flammable liquids such as gasoline or alcohol. Always

keep parts clean from dirt and dust for better performance.

pressure Switch

The pressure switch is factory pre-set to shut off at between
120 - 125  PSI and to re-start at between 90-95 PSI

STORAge

before storing for a prolonged period of time:

1.

Turn off the power supply.

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 water from the air tank by

opening the drain valve.

4.

Clean the air compressor to remove all dirt and dust.

5.

Cover the air compressor with a cover 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.
