Draining The Pressure Tank
WARNING!
RELEASE ALL AIR PRESSURE FROM THE
TANK BEFORE OPENING THE DRAIN VALVE. TAKE CARE
WHEN DISCHARGING AIR THROUGH THE DRAIN VALVE
OR AIR OUTLETS. THE DISCHARGED AIR CAN CAUSE
DUST, STONES, OR ANY OTHER FOREIGN PARTICLES
TO BE BLOWN THROUGH THE AIR AT HIGH PRESSURE.
Air in the compressor tank causes water to accumulate. This must
be drained off frequently to prevent corrosion and damage to the
unit.
This should be performed after each use and prior to the
next use.
1. Turn the drain valve plug clockwise to open it.
2. Allow all of the water in the
tank to drain out.
3. Replace the drain valve plug.
Note:
The tank will not pressurise while the drain valve is open.
