Empty Water Traps
The P69AHD is equipped with 2 water traps. The first water trap is located on the main pressure
regulator. This water trap has a float that allows it to self-purge whenever water builds up inside of the
trap.
The second water trap is located to the left of the Air Cabinet. This trap should be emptied every week to
prevent moisture buildup in the air system that could potentially cause rust accumulation and blockages.
At the bottom of this black air reservoir there is a ball valve used to relieve air pressure and moisture.
While emptying the water trap, the B axis must be in the ‘0’ position. Failure to do this can cause a
drop of air pressure in the system substantial enough to allow the spindle motor to fall to one side and
overextend the tilt assist, causing permanent damage. With air pressure still applied to the machine;
open the valve for at least 10 seconds then return it to the closed position.
