MAINTENANCE
Air
Filter
Inspect air filter before each use.
Remove filter from head, slide ring
over threads, and open case exposing
the filter. Clean filter with soap and
water as necessary. Squeeze excess
moisture from filter and allow to dry
before re-installing. If filter becomes
clogged or damaged, replace it.
WARNING:
Never clean air filter
with a flammable liquid or solvent.
Explosive vapors may accumulate in
the air tank and cause an explosion,
resulting in serious injury or death.
CAUTION:
Do not operate air compressor without air filter.
Storage
Tank
The storage tank should be drained after
each use or after every four hours of
operation to prevent condensation build-up
and corrosion inside the tanks. To drain tank,
slowly and carefully open drain fitting, tip unit
upright and allow water to drain out. Always
drain tank before storing compressor.
DO NOT over tighten drain valve when
closing. The drain valve on this tank seals
primarily through the o-ring seal. Over
tightening the valve can damage the o-ring
and may cause premature failure. To prevent
damage, stop closing the valve as soon as
air can no longer be heard escaping from
the valve, or when finger tight.
NOTE:
When draining tank, watch for debris (rust particles). If there
appears to be debris in water, contact your dealer for possible tank
replacement. The appearance of rust inside the tank will compromise
its’ ability to hold pressure and can cause bursting.
WARNING:
Do not weld on the air tank of this compressor.
Welding on the air compressor tank can severely impair tank
strength and cause an extremely hazardous condition. Welding on
the tank in any manner will void the warranty. If warranty service
or repairs are needed contact your nearest authorized servicing
dealer. If one does not exist contact the factory. Unauthorized
teardown of the unit will void the factory warranty.
