Draining Moisture from the Tank
The Drain Valve is located on the bottom of the
Tank. It must be used
daily
to release all trapped
air and moisture from the Tank. This will eliminate
condensation which can cause tank corrosion.
1. Turn the Power Switch OFF.
2. Place a collection pan under the Drain Valve.
3. Open the Drain Valve by moving the Drain
Valve Lever parallel with the valve, as shown
in drawing on the
left
side of
Figure J
.
4. When all the pressure and moisture has been
released, close the Drain Valve by moving the
Drain Valve Lever perpendicular to the valve, as
shown in the drawing on the
right
side of
Figure J
.
