Draining Air Tank (Fig. 1)
WARNING:
Risk of unsafe operation. Risk from noise. Air tanks
contain high pressure air. Keep face and other body parts away from
outlet of drain. Use eye protection [ANSI Z87.1 (CAN/CSA Z94.3)]
when draining as debris can be kicked up into face.
WARNING:
Risk from noise. Use ear protection [ANSI S12.6
(S3.19)] as air flow noise is loud when draining.
nOte:
All compressed air systems generate condensate that
accumulates in any drain point (e.g. tanks, filter, aftercoolers, dryers).
This condensate contains lubricating oil and/or substances which
may be regulated and must be disposed of in accordance with local,
state, and federal laws and regulations.
1. Ensure Auto/Off switch is in the OFF position.
2. Lift compressor into an inclined position so drain valve (M) is at
the lowest point (this will assist in removing moisture, dirt, etc.
from air tanks).
3. Place a suitable container under the drain valve to catch
discharge.
4. Grasp lever on drain valve.
5. Slowly rotate lever to gradually bleed air from air tank.
WARNING:
Risk of bursting.
Drain air tank daily. Water will
condense in air tank. If not drained, water will corrode and weaken
the air tank causing a risk of air tank rupture.
NOTICE:
Risk of property damage. Drain water from air tank may
contain oil and rust, which can cause stains.
6. When air tank pressure gauge reads 10 psi, rotate valve to the
fully open position.
7. Close drain valve when finished.
