To Check Safety Valve (Fig. C)
WARNING: Risk of Bursting. If the safety valve
does not work properly, over-pressurization may
occur, causing air tank rupture or an explosion.
WARNING: Risk from Flying Objects. Always
wear certified safety equipment: ANSI Z87.1 eye
protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3) with side shields.
Before starting compressor, pull the ring on the safety
valve
6
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 (Fig. A, D)
WARNING:
Risk of Unsafe Operation. Air tanks
contain high pressure air. Keep face and other
body parts away from outlet of drain. Use
ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3) when
draining as debris can be kicked up into face.
WARNING: Risk from noise. Always wear proper
hearing protection during use. Under some
conditions and duration of use, noise from this
product may contribute to hearing loss.
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.
WARNING: 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.
NOTICE:
Risk of Property Damage. Drain water
from air tank may contain oil and rust which can
cause stains.
1. Set the On/Off switch
1
to “Off”.
2. Turn the regulator knob
4
counterclockwise to set the
outlet pressure to zero.
3. Remove the air tool or accessory.
4. Place a suitable container under the drain valve to
catch discharge.
5. Pull ring on safety valve
6
allowing air to bleed from
the tank until tank pressure is approximately 20 psig.
Release safety valve ring.
6. Drain water from air tank by opening drain valve
7
on
bottom of tank.

7. After the water has been drained, close the drain valve.
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.
Cleaning
WARNING:
Blow dirt and dust out of all air vents with
clean, dry air at least once a week. To minimize the risk
of eye injury, always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved eye
protection when performing this procedure.
WARNING:
Never use solvents or other harsh
chemicals for cleaning the non-metallic parts of
the tool. These chemicals may weaken the plastic
materials used in these parts. Use a cloth dampened
only with water and mild soap. Never let any liquid
get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool
into a liquid.
Storage
Before you store the air compressor, make sure you do
the following:
1. Review the
Maintenance
section on the preceding
pages and perform scheduled maintenance
as necessary.
2. Drain water from air tank. See
