TO DRAIN TANk

Risk of unsafe operation. Air tanks contain high pressure air. 

keep face and other body parts away from outlet of drain. Use eye protection 

[ANSI Z87.1 (CAN/CSA Z94.3)] when draining as debris can be kicked up into 

face. 

Risk from noise. Use ear protection (ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) as air 

flow noise is loud when draining.
NOTE:  
All  compressed  air  systems  generate  condensate  that  accumulates  in 

any  drain  point  (e.g.,  tanks,  filter,  aftercoolers,  dryers).  This  condensate  contains 

lubricating oil and/or substances which may be regulated and must be disposed of in 

accordance with local, state, and federal laws and regulations.
1.  Set the Auto/Off lever to "Off" and unplug unit.
2.  Pull the regulator knob out and turn counterclockwise to set the outlet pres-

sure to zero.

3.  Remove the air tool or accessory.
4.  Pull ring on safety valve allowing air to bleed from the tank until tank pressure 

is approximately 20 psi. Release safety valve ring.

5.  Drain water from air tank by opening drain valve (counterclockwise) on bottom 

of tank.

Risk  of  Bursting.  Water  will  condense  in  the  air  tank.  If  not 

drained, water will corrode and weaken the air tank causing a risk of air tank 

rupture.

Risk of Property Damage. Drain water from air tank may contain oil 

and rust which can cause stains.
6.  After  the  water  has  been  drained,  close  the  drain  valve  (clockwise).  The  air 

compressor can now be stored.

NOTE:  If  drain  valve  is  plugged,  release  all  air  pressure.  The  valve  can  then  be 

removed, cleaned, the reinstalled.

OIL

Risk of property damage. Use air compressor oil only. Multi-weight 

automotive  engine  oils  like  10W30  should  not  be  use  in  air  compressors.  They 

leave  carbon  deposits  on  critical  components,  thus  reducing  performance  and 

compressor life. 
NOTE: 

Use  30W  compressor  oil  or  a  heavy  duty  SAE  30W,  non­detergent,  SF 

grade  or  better  oil.  DO  NOT  use  multi-weight  automotive  engine  oils,  they  will 

reduce compressor life. Under extreme winter condition use SAE-10 weight oil.
NOTE: Crankcase oil capacity is approximately 16 fluid ounces (0.47 L).
Checking
1.  The oil level should be to the middle of   

C

B

A

the sight glass (C).

2.  If  needed  remove  oil  fill  plug  (A)  and 

slowly add oil until it reaches the middle 

of the sight glass. 

Changing
1.  Remove the oil fill plug (A).          
2.  Remove the oil drain plug (B) and drain 

oil into a suitable container.
