OPERATION

Control the amount of air flow with the pressure regulator
knob. Turning the knob fully counterclockwise will
completely stop the flow of air.
NOTE:
Always use the minimum amount of pressure
necessary for your application. Using a higher pressure
than needed will drain air from the tank more rapidly and
cause the unit to cycle on more frequently.

When finished, always stop the engine and drain the tank.
Never leave the unit running unattended.
DRAINING THE AIR TANK
See Figures 17 - 18, page 21.
To help prevent tank corrosion and keep moisture out of the
air used, the air tank of the compressor should be drained
daily.
To drain:

Turn off the air compressor.
 Pull the ring on the pressure relief valve to release air
pressure. Continue venting until pressure gauge reads
less than 20 psi.

Release the ring.
 Rotate drain valve counterclockwise to open.

Tilt tank to drain moisture from tank into a suitable
container.
NOTE:
This tool is heavy. To avoid back injury, lift with
your legs, not your back, and get help when needed.
NOTE: Condensate is a polluting material and should be
disposed of in compliance with local regulations.

If drain valves are clogged, release all air pressure, remove
and clean valves, then reinstall.
WARNING:
Turn off the air compressor and release all air from
the tank before servicing. Failure to depressurize
tank before attempting to remove valve may cause
serious personal injury.

Rotate drain valve clockwise until tightly closed.
MOVING THE AIR COMPRESSOR

Turn the air compressor off.

Tilt the machine away from you until it balances on the
wheel then roll the machine to the desired position.

Allow 30 minutes of “cool down” time before storing the
machine.
