Do not open a manual tank drain valve on any air tank containing
more than 30 PSIG of air pressure!
Never attempt to relieve an air tank by removing a pipe plug or any
other system component!
Manually Draining An Air Tank:
Step 1)
Disconnect & lockout the compressor from the
power source (electric models) or disconnect the spark
plug wire from the spark plug (gas engine models).
Step 2)
Tanks subjected to freezing temperatures may
contain ice. Store the compressor in a heated area
before attempting to drain moisture from the tanks.
Reduce the air pressure in the tank to 30 PSIG by
pulling the pressure relief valve ring (refer to
Fig. 3-10,

).
Step 3)
Open the drain valve and allow the moisture
and air mixture to drain from the tank.

close the drain valve.
