unattended.
WARNING:
Check the air tool manual
to ensure the correct air
pressure regulator setting for
optimum operation of your air
tools. If you are using an air
tool not originally included
in the package contents list
(not necessarily supplied
with the air compressor
model you have purchased),
your tool may require more
air consumption than this air
compressor is designed to
supply.
Always read your air tool
owner’s manual to match the
correct air supply to your air
tool to avoid damage to the
tool or risk of personal injury.
DRAINING THE TANK
To help prevent tank corrosion and keep moisture out of
the air used, the tank of the compressor should be drained
daily.

Holding the handle, tilt the compressor toward the
drain valve so that it’s set in a lower position.
○
Open the drain valve by rotating it 1/4 turn
counterclockwise.
○
Keep the compressor tilted until all moisture has been
removed.
○
Drain moisture from tank into a suitable container.
NOTE:
Condensate is a polluting material and should be
disposed of in compliance with local regulations.
○
If drain valve is clogged, release all air pressure by
pulling the safety valve. Remove and clean valve,
then reinstall.
WARNING:
Unplug the air compressor

END OF OPERATION/STORAGE
○
Turn ON/OFF power switch to the
OFF
position.
○
Unplug power cord from wall outlet and wrap it around
the hook on the side of the compressor to prevent
damage when not in use.

tank (Fig. 12). Tank pressure should be below 10 psi
when draining the tank.
WARNING:
Risk of bursting. When the
tank gets corroded, there is
a risk of breakdown. 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. Drain tank daily or
after 4 hours of use. The drain
contains moisture in the air,
abrasion particles, rust, etc..
To drain tank open valve
slowly and tilt compressor
to empty accumulated water.
Keep face and eyes away from
drain cock.
○
Air hose should be disconnected from compressor
and hung open ends down to allow any moisture to
drain.
○
Compressor and hose should be stored in a non-
freezing, cool, dry place.
○
Compressor can be stored in horizontal and vertical
position.
WARNING:
Always drain the tank before
to store compressor in vertical
position.
