any holes.
Mark the location of holes using the mounting bracket of the air tank as a template, and then drill to size.

The installation location of your tank’s accessories depends on your air system’s configuration.
PORT LOCATIONS AND THREAD SIZE (NPT)
PRESSURE SWITCH RATING
The included pressure switch has a rating of 170 PSI ON, 200 PSI OFF. When the air pressure in the air tank
is below the preset ON pressure (170 PSI), the compressor will automatically turn on and will start pumping
air into the tank. When the pressure reaches the cut OFF pressure (200 PSI), the compressor will be
automatically shut off.
DRAIN VALVE
This valve helps you drain the water that can collect in the air tank after long periods of use.
REMOVING CONDENSATION
:
To remove any condensation which has accumulated inside the tank, bleed the tank’s pressure until it ranges
from approximately 5 PSI to 20 PSI.
Remove the drain valve found at the
tank’s bottom to drain the water from the tank. After draining the
accumulated condensation, reinstall the drain valve.
IMPORTANT
: Draining the system regularly will extend the life of the air tank.
MAINTENANCE
Make sure that electrical and fitting connections are regularly inspected, cleaned and tightened when needed.
Make sure mounting screws are regularly tightened if needed.
Drain weekly, to avoid excessive buildup of condensation.
Compressor features a washable air filter which should be cleaned using any mild form of liquid soap every
