Storage

When you are finished using the compressor, you

must:

Make sure the compressor is shut down and

all tools are disconnected. (See

“Shutdown”

section.)

Drain air receiver tank.

Store the compressor properly.

Detailed instructions are provided
below.

Between-Use Storage

Before storing, let engine cool for at least 5

minutes, as a hot engine is a fire hazard. When

machine is not in use, remove spark plug to

prevent unintentional starting or operation by

untrained persons.

Drain air receiver tank

Drain air receiver tank daily or after each use to

prevent moisture buildup in the air tank. Serious

injury or death may occur from a tank explosion if

air tanks are not properly maintained.

WARNING: Risk of bursting

To prevent tank corrosion, drain the receiver

tank after each days use.
Draining the tank will:

Dry out any moisture that has accumulated

in the tank. Leftover moisture can cause

tank corrosion and premature failure.

Ensure that the unit is operating properly

should it be needed in an emergency.

To drain the tank:

1.

Reduce tank pressure below 10 PSI by

disconnecting the hoses and opening the

ball valve, or pulling the ring on the safety

relief valve.
Note: Lifting the unloader knob

will NOT release pressure from

the tank.

2.

Drain moisture from tank by opening the

drain valve located at the bottom of the

tank.

Choose a storage location

An appropriate storage location is:

Clean and dry

Away from sources of heat, open flames,

sparks, or pilot lights, even if gas tank is

empty. Residual gasoline could ignite.

Away from extreme high or low temperatures.

Long term storage preparation

Prepare engine for long-term storage if you will

not be using machine again for more than 30 days.

Fuel can become stale when stored over 30 days.

Stale fuel causes acid and gum deposits to form in

the fuel system which can cause engine

malfunction. You have two options:

a.

Remove all gasoline from the tank and carburetor

OR

b.

Add fuel stabilizer to the gasoline following

manufacturer’s instructions:

1.

Ensure gas tank is full.

2.

Add fuel stabilizer to fuel tank.

3.

Run engine outdoors at least 10 minutes

after adding stabilizer to allow it to enter

the fuel system.

4.

Shut off engine.

5.

Disconnect spark plug wire and remove

spark plug.

6.

Add one teaspoon of oil through spark plug hole.

7.

Place rag over spark plug hole and pull the

recoil a few times to lubricate the

combustion chamber.

8.

Replace spark plug, but do not

reconnect the spark plug wire.

9.

Pull the recoil slowly until resistance is felt

and the notch on the recoil aligns with the

hole at the top of the recoil starter cover.

This will close the valves so moisture

cannot enter the engine cylinder. Return

the recoil gently.
