Do not open a manuall tank drain valve on any air tank containing
more than 30 PSIG of air pressure!
Never attempt to releive an air tank by removing a pipe plug or
any other system component!
Manually Draining An Air Tank:
Step 1)
Disconnect & lockout the compressor from the power source (elec
tric models) or disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug
(gas engine models).
Step 2)
Tank(s) subjected to freezing temperatures may contain ice. Store
the compressor in a heated area before attempting to drain mois
ture from the tank(s). Reduce the air pressure in the tank to 30
PSIG by pulling the pressure relief valve ring (refer to
Fig. 3-4,
Checking Pressure Relief Valves & Relieving System Pres
sure
).
Step 3)
Slowly open the drain valve and allow the moisture and air mixture
to drain from the tank.
Step 4)
Once the moisture has been completely drained, close the drain
valve.
Oil and moisture residue must be drained from the air receiver
daily or after each use. Accumulations of o\ 35l residue in the receiver
can be ignited by k\ 30bers of carbon created by the heat of compression
causing an explosion, damage to property and injury to personnel
