CONTROL BOX MAINTENANCE
The control box has its own pressure regulator. This is already set properly from the factory, and should not be tampered
with under normal circumstances. However, if it gets changed accidentally, make sure you readjust it to 90 PSI.
CONTROL BOX VALVE (LOCATED IN CONTROL BOX) MAINTENANCE
It is time to service your control box valve when the shutoff time is longer than usual or the valve is not actuating properly.
To service the control box valve (located in the control box), follow these steps or checkout our online academy:
1. Depressurize the machine.
2. Label each endcap left or right.
3. Remove the 2 (two) screws and set endcaps aside.
4. Remove piston.
5. Lightly lubricate piston with supplied grease or install new piston.
6. Install or replace any damaged gaskets or O-rings.
7. Re-install both endcaps.
PRESSURE REGULATOR
You rarely have to adjust the pressure, because it is better to adjust with stand off distance. Occasionally you should
lubricate the threads on this knob with a lubricant such as lithium grease.
REGULATOR
You will find the filter regulator on the left side of control box. Like the moisture trap, you should leave it cracked open so it
can always drain to avoid water entering your control box valve.
CONDENSING FAN
The condensing fan cools the hot air that comes out of the compressor. You don’t
really need the fan if you’re wet blasting, but it’s very important if you’re dry blasting.
You should also turn it on when using a paint spray gun with your compressor.
MOISTURE TRAP (MT1 or MT2)
The moisture trap collects water from the air running through the system. Periodically drain it by opening the lever on the
bottom. Alternately, open the lever on the bottom so it can constantly drain slowly.
On the moisture trap, you will find a regulator for the water pump. We pre-set these regulators to about 80-90 PSI. You may
use the regulator for a painting setup, but be sure to return it to 80-90 PSI when you’re done.

Best Practices for Maintaining your Mobile
ALWAYS DEPRESSURIZE THE
MACHINE BEFORE PERFORMING
ANY MAINTENANCE.
MAKE SURE ALL GASKETS
ARE PROPERLY REPLACED TO
PREVENT LEAKS
TURN OFF CONDENSING FAN
WHEN NOT IN USE TO AVOID
BATTERY DRAIN.
PERIODICALLY CHECK THE TORQUE SETTINGS ON THE
VARIOUS WATER PUMP BOLTS. THIS WILL ENSURE YOU
DON’T LOSE ANY AIR THROUGH THE WATER PUMP, AND
GET OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE.
