Cold Weather Starting

Temperatures below freezing (32°F) cause the 
metal parts of your Air Compressor to contract and 
that makes starting more difficult. To assist the Air 
Compressor in starting in cold weather, follow  
these tips:
1.   Try to keep Air Compressor stored in 

temperatures above 32° fahrenheit.

2.   Open the Air Tank Drain Valve and release all air 

pressure from the Air Tank before attempting to 
start in cold weather. (After air is released from 
Air Tank, close Drain Valve.)

3.   Plug Air Compressor directly into a 120 volt 

electrical outlet. Do not use an extension cord 
when starting your Air Compressor in cold 
weather.

MAINTENANCE

Daily (or before each use)

1.   Drain condensation from the air tank.
2.   Check for any unusual noise or vibration.
3.   Be sure all nuts and bolts are tight.

Monthly

1.   Inspect air system for leaks by applying soapy 

water to all joints. Tighten these joints if leaks 
are discovered.

Always inspect the tool before use, and make sure it 
is in good working condition. Make sure all air vents 
are clear, (use compressed air to clean the machine 
where possible). Check the power cable to make 
sure it is intact and free from cracks, bare wires etc. 
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts, 
most plastics are susceptible to damage from the 
various types of commercial solvents.
