STORAGE
1. Push the power switch to the OFF position to turn off the
compressor.
2. Unplug the compressor.
3. Run the air tool to relieve the air pressure in the hose, then
remove the air hose and the tool, or release the air by the pressure

4. Drain water from the tank as instructed in Draining the Tank
section. Leave the valve open until the next usage.
5. Store the air compressor in its normal operating position in a dry
and protected area.
WARNING
Water will condense in the air compressor tank when the
compressor is in operation. Water left in the tank can cause the
tank to weaken and corrode, increasing the risk of tank rupture.
WARNING
Always disconnect the air hose from tools whenever not in use or
while servicing. During maintenance, a tool connected to air hose
may operate accidentally, causing serious personal injury!
WARNING
Failure to unplug the air compressor before storage may result
in the compressor running continuously, causing overheating,
damage to the compressor, and possibly a fire.
MAINTENANCE

When servicing use only original replacement parts. Use of any
other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.

result in objects being thrown into your eyes resulting in possible
serious injury.
WARNING
Always release all pressure, disconnect from power supply, and
allow unit to cool before cleaning or making repairs on the air
compressor.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are
susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and
may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust,
oil, grease, etc.
Do not modify this product in any way or use accessories not
approved by the manufacturer. Your safety and that of others may
be compromised.

doing any maintenance on the machine.
As a routine part of air compressor maintenance, it is also advised that
the oil is routinely checked for proper levels.
WARNING

products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts.
Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may result
in serious personal injury.
