Compressor outfits in an extremely dirty and/or hostile environment will
required a greater frequency of all maintenance checks.

See "Operation" section for the location controls.
To Check safety Valve
WARNING
If the safety valve does not work properly, over-pressurization may occur,
causing air tank rupture or an explosion.
1. Before starting compressor, pull the ring on the safety valve to make sure
that the safety valve operates freely. If the valve is stuck or does not operate
smoothly, it must be replaced with the same type of valve.
To Drain Tank
1. Set the On/Auto/Off lever to "OFF".
2. Pull the regulator knob out and turn clockwise to set the outlet pressure to
zero.
3. Remove the air tool or accessory.
4. Pull ring on safety valve allowing air to bleed from the tank until tank
pressure is approximately 20 psi. Release safety valve ring.
5. Drain water from air tank by opening drain valve (counter-clockwise) on
bottom of tank.
WARNING
Water will condense in the air tank. If not drained, water will corrode and
weaken air tank causing a risk of air tank rupture.
6. After the water has been drained, close the drain valve (clockwise). The air
compressor can now be stored.
NOTE:
If drain valve is plugged, release all air pressure. The valve can then be
removed, cleaned, the reinstalled.
