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. Set the On/Auto/Off lever to “OFF”.
3. Turn the regulator counterclockwise and set the
outlet pressure to zero.
4. Remove the air tool or accessory.
5. Pull ring on safety valve allowing air to bleed from
the tank until tank pressure is approximately 20
psi. Release safety valve ring.
6. Drain water from air tank by opening drain valve
on bottom of tank.
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.
7. After the water has been drained, close the drain
or drain valve.
NOTE:
If drain valve is plugged, release all air
pressure. The valve can then be removed, cleaned,
then reinstalled.
8. Protect the electrical cord and air hose from
damage (such as being stepped on or run over).
Wind them loosely around the compressor handle.
(If so equipped)
Store the air compressor in a clean and dry location.
