When you have finished using your compressor, follow these steps:-
1. Close the air outlet taps.
2. Switch off the compressor.
3. Disconnect unit from power outlet (power point).
4. Disconnect tools and / or Accessories from the air hose.
5. Disconnect the Air Hose.
6. Locate the drain valve on the underside of the tank.
7. Open the drain valve to release remaining pressurized air from within the tank. Moisture build
up in the tank is normal with air compressors, so a small amount of water may come out
while draining. (Draining the tank is vital for the longevity and safety of your air
compressor).
8. Store the compressor in a cool, dry place.
Shutting Down Your Compressor
1. The tank will require accumulated moisture to be drained from it on a regular basis. It is
recommended that the tank be drained of moisture after every 5 Hours of use. The drain
valve is located on the underside of the tank.
2. Check Oil level before each use.
3. Wash air filter insert in a mild soapy solution after 50 hours use. Operation in extreme
conditions e.g., dust, paint residue etc, may require more frequent cleaning.
4. Check handle is attached properly prior to use.
6. Check power cord for signs of wear and tear before each use.
7. Never use caustic agents to clean any part of the compressor.
