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 tube from the auto drain valve into a waste

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. 

empty the waste container of water regularly.

4. highly recommended to manually drain the air tank

regularly from the ball drain valve to remove excess water.

5. 

draining the air tank protects parts from rust and corrosion.

changing the air filter

The air filters are 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

replaced regularly.

1.

Open the lid of the air filter and remove the old air filter element.

2.

Replace with a new air filter element and close the lid.

testing for leaks

Make sure all connections are tight. do not overtighten.
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.

air drying canister - desiccant

This air compressor includes an Air drying system.
* Aftercooler (Condenser)
* Air drying Canister.
The air drying process is performed when the air flow from the air

compressor is pushed through air dryer canister containing

desiccant material (molecular Sieve). The desiccant captures and

removes the moisture from the air.

After 2 years of use the Canister desiccant needs to be replaced.
unscrew the old canister with the tool provided with the

replacement canister and discard the old desiccant canister.

STORAge

before storing for a prolonged period of time:

1.

Turn off the power supply.

2.

disconnect the power cord from the power supply.

3.

Release all of the pressure and moisture from the air tank

through the manual 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.
