Cleaning the air filter
A dirty air filter will reduce the air compressor’s performance and life. To avoid contaminating the
pump, the filter should be cleaned frequently and replaced on a regular basis. Clean the foam filter
by immersing it in warm, soapy water. Allow to dry thoroughly.
Testing leaks
Check that all connections are tight. Small leaks in the tank, hoses, connections or transfer tubes
will substantially reduce the air compressor and tool performance. Spray a small amount of soapy
water around the area of suspected leaks with a spray bottle. If bubbles appear, repair, replace or
re
-
seal the faulty component. Do not over tighten any connections.
Storage
Before storing the air compressor, do the following:
•
Drain all moisture from the tank
(see Operating Instructions paragraph in the Maintenance
section of this manual for the correct procedure).
•
Use an air blow gun to clean all dust and debris from the compressor.
•
Disconnect and wind up the power cord.
•
Pull the pressure safety valve to release all pressure from the tank.
•
Cover the entire unit to protect it from moisture and dust.
•
Store the air compressor in a clean and dry location.
•
In cold weather, store the compressor in a warm building when it is not in use. This will
reduce problems related to starting the motor and the freezing of water condensation.
WARNING!
Potential hazard that could result in serious injury or loss of life.
