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.
