Draining Air Tank (Fig. 1)
WARNING:
Risk of unsafe operation. Risk from noise. Air tanks
contain high pressure air. Keep face and other body parts away from
outlet of drain. Use safety glasses
[ANSI Z87.1 (CAN/CSA Z94.3)]
when draining as debris can be kicked up into face. Use ear
protection
[ANSI S12.6 (S3.19)]
as air flow noise is loud when
draining.
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.
1. Ensure
On/Off switch is in the OFF position
.
2. Move compressor into an inclined position so drain valve (J) is
at the lowest point (this will assist in removing moisture, dirt,
etc. from air tanks)
3. Place a suitable container under the drain valve to catch
discharge.
4. Grasp knurled knob on drain valve.
5. Slowly rotate knob to gradually bleed air from air tank.
WARNING:
Risk of bursting.
Drain air tank daily. Water will con-
dense in air tank. If not drained, water will corrode and weaken the
air tank causing a risk of air tank rupture.
CAUTION:
Risk of property damage. Drain water from air tank may
contain oil and rust, which can cause stains.
6. When air tank pressure gauge reads 10 PSI (68,9 kPa), rotate
valve to the fully open position.
7. Close drain valve when finished.
Compressor Pump Oil (Fig. 1)
CHECKING OIL
WARNING:
Hot surfaces. Risk of burn. Aftercooler, pump head,
and surrounding parts are very hot, do not touch (see the Hot
Surfaces identified in Fig. 2). Allow compressor to cool prior to
servicing.
1. Ensure
On/Off switch is in the OFF position
.
2. Place unit on a flat level surface.
3. Remove dipstick (K) and wipe clean.
4. Reinsert dipstick fully into oil fill port for a few
L
K
seconds to allow oil to collect on the
dipstick.
5. Remove oil dipstick to read oil level. Oil
should not exceed top raised line on
dipstick. If oil is below lower mark, add
same type of oil in crankcase and follow
Steps 4 - 6.
NOTE:
When filling the crankcase, the oil flows
very slowly into the pump. If the oil is added too
quickly, it will overflow and appear to be full.
CAUTION:
Risk of unsafe operation. Overfilling
with oil will cause premature compressor failure. Do
not overfill.
6. Replace dipstick.
CHANGING OIL
NOTE:
Pump oil contains substances that are regulated and
must be disposed of in accordance with local, state and federal
laws and regulations.
