2.  Pull the ring on the pressure relief valve to release until 

pressure gauge reads less than 1.4 bar.

3.  Release the ring.

4.  Rotate drain valve counterclockwise to open and drain 

the moisture.

note:

 Condensate is a polluting material and should 

be disposed of in compliance with local regulations.

5.  If drain valve is clogged, release all air pressure. 

Remove and clean the valve, then reinstall.

 

 dAngeR

Unplug the air compressor and release all air from 

the tank before servicing. Failure to depressurize tank 

before attempting to remove valve may cause serious 

personal injury.

6.  Rotate drain valve clockwise until tightly closed.

Do not attempt to tamper with the safety valve.

Anything loosened from this device could fly up and hit 

you. Failure to heed this warning could result in death 

or serious personal injury.

The pressure relief valve will automatically release air if 

the air tank pressure exceeds the preset maximum. The 

valve should be checked before each day of use by pulling 

the ring by hand.
1.  Turn the air compressor on and allow the tank to 

fill.  The  compressor  will  shut  off  when  the  pressure 

reaches the preset maximum.

2.  Turn the air compressor off.

3.  Pull the ring on the safety valve to release air for three 

to five seconds. Air should rapidly escape. Release the 

ring and the air should stop.

4.  The ring pin may need to be pushed back into position 

to stop the flow of air at high pressure.

 

 wARnIng

If air leaks after the ring has been released, or if the 

valve is stuck and cannot be actuated by the ring, 

do not use the air compressor until the safety valve 

has been replaced. Use of the air compressor in this 

condition could result in serious personal injury.

Reset BUtton

See figure 13.

When current into the air compressor motor exceeds the 

specified limit, the air compressor will automatically shut 

off.

to reset the air compressor:

1.  Unplug the air compressor.

2.  Turn the air compressor off.

3.  Wait three minutes for the motor to cool.

4.  Press the reset button.

5.  Plug the air compressor into an approved outlet.

6.  Turn the air compressor on.

stoRAge

1.  Push the power switch to the OFF position to turn off 

the compressor.

2.  Unplug the compressor.

3.  Run the air tool to relieve the air pressure in the hose, 

then remove the air hose and the tool, or release the 

air by the pressure relief valve.

4.  Drain water from the tank as instructed in Draining 

the Tank section. Leave the valve open until the next 

usage.

5.  Store the air compressor in its normal operating 

position in a dry and protected area.

 

 wARnIng

Water will condense in the air compressor tank when 

the compressor is in operation. Water left in the tank 

can cause the tank to weaken and corrode, increasing 

the risk of tank rupture.

 

 wARnIng

Always disconnect the air hose from tools whenever 

not in use or while servicing. During maintenance, a 

tool connected to air hose may operate accidentally, 

causing serious personal injury!

 

 wARnIng

Failure to unplug the air compressor before storage 

may result in the compressor running continuously, 

causing overheating, damage to the compressor, and 

possibly a fire.

 wARnIng

When servicing use only original replacement parts. 

Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause 

product damage.
