WARNING:
!
Release all pressure and dis-
connect power before making
any repair.
1. Check compressor for any visible
problems, especially check air filter to
be sure it is clean.
2. Pull ring on safety valve and allow it to
snap back to normal position.
WARNING:
!
Safety valve must be replaced if
it cannot be actuated or it leaks
air after ring is released.
3. Drain moisture from tank daily. Shut
compressor off. Depressurize system
prior to draining tank. Drain moisture
from tank by opening the tank drain
valve underneath the tank.
4. Turn power OFF and clean dust and
dirt from motor, tank, air lines and
pump cooling fins.
NOTE: The air filter in the filter housing
on the side of the head must be checked
and cleaned periodically, more often if
used under very dusty conditions or
when a great deal of fog from spraying is
allowed to circulate near unit.
IMPORTANT: Unit should be located as
far from spraying area as hose will allow
to prevent over-spray from clogging filter.
