Draining the tank
(Figure 2, 4)
WARNING: Risk of unsafe
operation. 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.
WARNING: Risk of bursting.
Water will condense in the
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.
NOTICE:
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.
NOTICE:
If drain valve is
plugged, release all air pressure.
The valve can then be removed,
cleaned, then reinstalled.
1. Set the Auto/Off switch (A, Figure 2) to
“Off”.
2. Slowly bleed the air from the air tank
and air distribution system until tank
pressure is approximately 20 psi.
3. Drain water from air tank by opening
drain valve (F) on bottom of tank.
4. After the water has been drained, close
the drain valve. The air compressor can
now be stored.
