DISCONNECTING HOSES
WARNING
Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp hose in hand
when installing or disconnecting to prevent hose
whip. Losing control of the hose may result in
personal injury and property damage.
6. Set the pressure switch lever to “OFF”.
7. Using the air tool or accessory, bleed the tank
pressure down to zero.
8. Remove the air tool or accessory.
9. Drain water from air tank by opening drain cock valve
on bottom of tank. WATER WILL CONDENSE IN THE
AIR TANK. IF NOT DRAINED, WATER WILL
CORRODE AND WEAKEN THE AIR TANK CAUSING
A RISK OF AIR TANK RUPTURE.
Note:
If drain valve is plugged, release all air pressure. The
valve can then be removed, cleaned, then reinstalled.
10. After the water has been drained, close the drain
valve. The air compressor can now be stored.
WARNING
Drain Air Tank Properly. Improper draining of the air
tank can result in corrosion and possible bursting of
the tank. Tank bursting could lead to personal injury
and property damage.
MAINTENANCE
NOTICE:
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the like.
Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
To ensure efficient operation and longer life of the air
compressor unit, a routine maintenance schedule should
be prepared and followed. The following routine
maintenance schedule is geared to a unit in a normal
working environment operating on a daily basis. If
necessary, the schedule should be modified to suit the
conditions under which your compressor is used. The
modifications will depend upon the hours of operation and
the working environment. Compressor units in an
extremely dirty and/or hostile environment will require a
greater frequency of all maintenance checks.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
1. Drain water from the air tank, any moisture separators
or transformers.
2. Check for any unusual noise and/or vibration.
3. Manually check all safety valves to make sure they are
operating properly.
WARNING: Risk of bursting.
Check Safety Valve. If safety valve does not operate
properly over pressurization of the air tank may result
in rupture or explosion causing personal injury and
property damage.
4. Inspect air filter, replace if necessary.
5. Inspect air lines and fittings for leaks; correct as
necessary.
Each year of operation or if a problem is suspected:
• Check condition of air compressor pump intake and
exhaust valves.
• Check condition of check valve. Replace if
damaged or worn out.
6. Keep all screws, bolts, and covers tightly mounted.
Check their conditions periodically.
WARNING
Keep All Screws, Bolts and Covers Properly
Tightened. If screws plates or covers become loose
personal injury or property damage may occur.
