cycles automatically when power
is on. When servicing, you may
be exposed to voltage sources,
compressed air, or moving parts.
Before servicing unit unplug or
disconnect electrical supply to
the air compressor, bleed tank
of pressure, and allow the air
compressor to cool.
To ensure efficient operation and lon-
ger life of the air compressor, a routine
maintenance schedule should be pre-
pared and followed. The above routine
maintenance schedule is geared to
an air compressor in a normal work-
ing environment operating on a daily
basis. If necessary, the schedule
should be modified to suit the condi-
tions under which your air compressor
is used. The modifications will depend
upon the hours of operation and the
working environment. Compressors
in an extremely dirty and/or hostile
environment will require a greater fre-
quency of all maintenance checks.
NOTE: See "Operation" section for the
location of controls.

the ring on the safety valve to
make sure that the safety valve
operates freely. If the valve
is stuck or does not operate
smoothly, it must be replaced with
the same type of valve.

To Drain Tank

from noise. Air tanks contain high
pressure air. Keep face and other
body parts away from outlet of drain.
Use safety glasses when draining
as debris can be kicked up into
face. Use ear protection (ANSI S12.6
(S3.19) hearing protection) as air flow
noise is loud when draining.
NOTE: All compressed air systems
generate condensate that accumulates
in any drain point (e.g., tanks, filter, after-
coolers, dryers). This condensate con-
tains lubricating oil and/or substances
which may be regulated and must be
disposed of in accordance with local,
state, and federal laws and regulations.
1. Set the On/Auto/Off lever to "Off"
and unplug unit.
