Place a suitable container beneath the
compressor to catch any condensation.
Carefully open the drain tap until you hear a
hissing noise, this is the reservoir depressurising
(Fig.8).
When the gauge indicates zero and the hissing
has stopped, tighten the drain outlet nut again.
Maintenance
Important:
Before carrying out any
maintenance, always disconnect the
compressor from the mains supply, drain the air
receiver and, if necessary, allow the machine to
cool down before starting work.
1.The compressor must be drained completely
by opening the drain tap. Drain the air receiver
tank after approx. 2 hours of use.
2.Cleaning and maintaining the compressor
regularly will give a long and trouble free life.
Before long term storage it is advisable to give
the compressor a thorough clean. This should
include the removal of all fitted accessories. Do
not use any solvents as these can damage
plastic parts. Only use a clean cloth dampened
with warm soapy water. Any metal parts should
be given a wipe with a light machine oil to
prevent rusting.
Caution.
Water must never come into contact
with the compressor.
