To Drain Tank

1.  Set the On/Off switch to OFF (O).
2.  Pull the regulator knob out and 

turn counterclockwise to set the 
outlet pressure to zero.

3.  Remove the air tool or accessory.

air to bleed from the tank until 
tank pressure is approximately 20 
psi. Release safety valve ring.

close the drain valve. The air 
compressor can now be stored.
