OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Draining the Tank
To help prevent tank corrosion and keep moisture
out of the air used, the tank of the compressor
should be drained daily.
To drain:
•
Verify that the compressor is turned off.
•
Holding the handle, tilt the compressor toward the
drain valve so that it’s set in a lower position.
•
Open the drain valve by rotating it 1/4 turn
counterclockwise.
•
Keep the compressor tilted until all moisture has
been removed.
•
Drain moisture from tank into a suitable container.
NOTE:
Condensate is a polluting material and should
be disposed of in compliance with local regulations.
•
If drain valve is clogged, release all air pressure
by pulling the safety valve. Remove and clean
valve, then reinstall.
WARNING:
Unplug the air compressor and release all air from
the tank before servicing. Failure to depressurize
tank before attempting to remove valve may cause
serious personal injury.
•
Close the drain valve by rotating it 1/4 turn
clockwise.
