Before inspecting the pressure relief valve, release air pressure, lockout and
tagout the power supply to the compressor package. Failure to release
pressure or properly disconnect the power may result in personal injury or
death.
Never paint, lubricate or alter a relief valve. Do not plug vent or restrict.
Operation of the unit with improper relief valve setting can result in severe
personal injury or machine damage. Ensure properly set valves are installed
and maintained.

test the pressure relief valve:
·
