STORAGE
Before you store the air compressor,
make sure you do the following:
1. Review the
Maintenance
section
on the preceding pages and per-
form scheduled maintenance as
necessary.
2. Drain water from air tank. See
To
Drain Tank
under
Maintenance
.
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.
3. Protect the electrical cord and
air hose from damage (such as
being stepped on or run over).
Wind them loosely around the
compressor handle.
4. Store the air compressor in a
clean and dry location.
