Shutting Down The Compressor
Do not turn the air compressor off by unplugging it from the mains
power as it may result in damage to the motor.
1. Turn the compressor off with the on/off switch and then unplug the
cord.
2. Rotate the pressure regulator
anti-clockwise until it is fully
closed; check the regulated
pressure gauge to ensure that
it reads 0psi.
3. Also turn on the air tool to
discharge any remaining
pressurised air in the air hose.
4. Remove the air hose and any
other connected accessories.
5. Slowly open the safety relief
valve to release any remaining
pressurised air.
6. When no more air is released,
open the drain valve to
release any accumulated
liquid from the tank.
7. Close the drain valve, allow the compressor to cool down, then
clean and store the unit.
