1. Before starting compressor, pull the ring on the safety valve to make sure
that the safety valve operates freely. If the valve is stuck or does not operate
smoothly, it must be replaced with the same type of valve.
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 lubricat-
ing oil and/or substances which may be regulated and must be disposed of in accor-
dance 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 (counter-clockwise) on bot-
tom 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 con-
tain 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.
AIR FILTER INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT
Hot surfaces. Risk of burn. Compres-sor heads are exposed
when filter cover is removed. Allow compressor to cool prior to servicing.
keep the air filter clean at all times. Do not operate the air
compressor with the air filter removed.
A dirty air filter will not allow the compressor to operate at full capacity. Keep the
air filter clean at all times.
1. Remove the air filter cover.
2. Remove the air filter and make sure it is

clean.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate the com-
pressor with the air filter removed.
3. If dirty, rinse air filter with warm water
and squeeze dry.
4. Replace air filter and air filter cover.
