Maintenance
Disconnect, tag and lock out
power source, then release
all pressure from the system
before attempting to install, service,
relocate or perform any maintenance.
Check compressor often for any visible
problems and follow maintenance
procedures each time compressor is
used.
Safety valve must
be replaced if it
cannot be actuated or it leaks air after
ring is released.
1. Turn compressor off and release
pressure from system. (To release
pressure from system, pull ring on
safety valve. Deflect escaping air by
shielding valve with one hand as
you pull ring with other hand.) Pull
ring until tank is empty.
A large amount of
fast moving air will
be released when the safety valve is
opened with pressure in the tank. Wear
ANSI approved Z87.1 safety glasses.
2. Drain moisture from tank by
opening drain valve underneath
tank. Tilt tank to remove all
moisture.
3. Clean dust and dirt from tank,
air lines and pump cover while
compressor is still OFF.
SAFETY VALVE
Do not remove or
attempt to adjust
the safety valve!
Check the safety valve by performing
the following steps:
1. Plug the compressor in and run
until shut off pressure is reached.
2. Wearing safety glasses, pull the
ring on the safety valve to release
pressure from compressor tank. Use
your other hand to defl ect fast-
moving air from being directed
toward your face.
3. The safety valve should
automatically close at
approximately 40 psi - 50 psi. If the
safety valve does not allow air to be
released when you pull on the ring,
or if it does not close automatically,
it MUST be replaced.
DRAIN TANK
With compressor shut off and pressure
released, drain moisture from tank by
opening drain valve underneath tank.
LUBRICATION.
This is an oilless type compressor
requiring no lubrication.
CLEANING
Turn power OFF and clean dust and dirt
from pump cover, tank, and air lines.

OVERLOAD PROTECTOR
This
compressor
is equipped with
a thermal overload protector which
will shut off motor if it becomes
overloaded.
If overload protector shuts motor OFF
frequently, look for the following
causes.
1. Low
voltage.
2. Lack of proper ventilation.
If the overload
protector is
actuated, the motor must be allowed
to cool down for 30 minutes before
manual resetting.
END OF OPERATION / STORAGE
1. Turn ON / OFF switch to the OFF
position.
2. Unplug power cord from wall
outlet and wrap around handle
area to prevent damage when not
in use.
3. Wearing safety glasses drain tank of
air by pulling the ring on the safety
valve. Use other hand to defl ect
fast moving air from being directed
toward your face.
4. Drain tank of condensation by
opening drain valve on bottom
of tank. Tank pressure should be
below 10 psi when draining tank.
5. Air hose should be disconnected
from compressor and hung open
ends down to allow any moisture to
drain.
6. Compressor and hose should be
stored in a cool, dry place.

MOISTURE IN COMPRESSED AIR
Moisture in compressed air will form
into droplets as it comes from an air
compressor pump. When humidity
is high or when a compressor is in
continuous use for an extended
period of time, this moisture will
collect in the tank. When using a
paint spray or sandblast gun, this
water will be carried from the tank
through the hose, and out of the
gun as droplets mixed with the spray
material.
IMPORTANT:
This condensation
will cause water spots in a paint
job, especially when spraying
other than water based paints. If
sandblasting, it will cause the sand
to cake and clog the gun, rendering
it ineffective.
A fi lter in the air line, located as
near to the gun as possible, will help
eliminate this moisture.
