air station

NOTE: 

Each tool is different. Refer to the instructions of 

the manufacturer before operating a tool in the seated 

position.

USING THE AIR STATION
See Figure 11.

 WARNING

Risk of bursting. Do not adjust regulator to result in 

output pressure greater than marked maximum pressure 

of attachment and/or the item being inflated. Never use 

at pressure greater than 9.3 bar. Failure to heed this 

could result in possible serious personal injury.

 WARNING

Air powered tools may require more air consumption 

than this air station is capable of providing. Check the tool 

manual to avoid damage to the tool or risk of personal injury.

1.  Connecting Hoses to the air station.

2.  Control  the  amount  of  air  flow  with  the  pressure 

regulator knob. Turning the knob fully counterclockwise 

will  completely  stop  the  flow  of  air,  as  shown  in  the 

start up section of the quick reference label.

NOTE

: Always use the minimum amount of pressure 

necessary for your application.Using a higher pressure 

than needed will drain air from the tank more rapidly 

and cause the unit to cycle on more frequently.

3.  When finished, always drain the tank and unplug the unit. 

Never leave the unit plugged in and/or running unattended.

DRAINING THE TANK
See Figure 12 - 13.

1.  To help prevent tank corrosion and keep moisture out 

of the air used, the air tank of the station should be 

drained daily.

2.  Turn the air station off, as shown in the shut down 

section of the quick reference label.

3.  Pull the ring on the safety valve to release until 

pressure gauge reads less than 1.4 bar, as shown in 

the shut down section of the quick reference label.

4.  Release the ring.

5.  Rotate drain valves counterclockwise to open, as 

shown in the shut down section of the quick reference 

label.

6.  Tilt tank to drain moisture from tank into a suitable 

container.

NOTE: 

Condensate is a polluting material and should 

be disposed of in compliance with local regulations.

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

remove and clean valve, then reinstall.

 WARNING

Unplug the air station and release all air from the tank before 

servicing. Failure to depressurize tank before attempting to 

remove valve can cause serious personal injury.

8.  Rotate drain valve clockwise until tightly closed.

CHECKING THE SAFETY VALVE
See Figure 12.

 DANGER

Do not attempt to tamper with the safety valve. Anything 

loosened  from  this  device  could  fly  up  and  hit  you. 

Failure to heed this could result in death or serious 

personal injury.

The safety 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 station on and allow the tank to fill. The 

station will shut off when the pressure reaches the 

preset maximum.

2.  Turn the air station off.

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

to  five  seconds  to  allow  pressurized  air  to  escape. 

Release the ring. The safety release valve must 

reset and hold pressure before all compressed air is 

exhausted from the tank/pressure vessel.

4.  Any continued loss of air after performing the above 

steps indicates a problem with the safety valve. 

Discontinue use and seek service before continued 

use of the air station.

 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 station until the safety valve has been 

replaced. Use of the air station in this condition could 

result in serious personal injury.

 WARNING

When servicing use only identical replacement parts. 

Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause 

product damage.
