User - Maintenance
Instructions
Disconnect power source
then release all pressure from
the system before attempting
to install, service, relocate or perform
any maintenance. Service should be
performed by an authorized service
representative.
The compressor should be checked
often for any visible problems and the
following maintenance procedures
should be performed each time the
compressor is used.
aSMe SaFety valve

Check the safety valve by performing
the following steps:
1. Plug the compressor in and run until
shut off pressure is reached (see
Operating Instructions).

ring on the safety valve to release
pressure from compressor tank. Use
your other hand to deflect fast-
moving air from being directed
toward your face.
3. The safety valve should close
automatically at approximately
40-50 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.

released, drain moisture from tank by
opening drain valve underneath tank.
