9. Replace the transfer tube and tighten compression nuts.
10. Perform the "Break-in of the pump" procedure in the
Operating Instructions to make sure there are no leaks and
the check valve is working properly.
CLEANING THE AIR FILTERS
A = Wing nut(s)
B = Metal cover(s)
A dirty air filter
C = Filter element(s)
will reduce the
compressor's
performance and life.
To avoid any internal
contamination of the
pump, the filters should
be cleaned frequently,
and replaced on a
regular basis. Felt filters
should be cleaned in
warm, soapy water,
rinsed, and allowed
to air dry before reinstallation. Paper filters should be replaced
when dirty. Do not allow the filters to become filled with dirt or
paint. If the filter becomes filled with paint, it should be replaced.
Direct exposure to dirty conditions or painting areas will void your
warranty.
Perform the following maintenance at the intervals indicated below.
Inspect air filters (clean or replace as necessary)
Check pump oil level
Change pump oil (Use full synthetic, non-detergent air compressor oil.)
Operate the tank safety valve
Check belt tension
Drain tank
Check and tighten all bolts (do not over tighten)

MAINTENANCE
CHECKING THE RELIEF VALVE
Pull the tank safety valve daily to ensure that it is operating
properly and to clear the valve of any possible obstructions.
TESTING FOR LEAKS
Check that all connections are tight. A small leak in any of
the hoses, transfer tubes, or pipe connections will substantially
reduce the performance of your air compressor. If you suspect
a leak, spray a small amount of soapy water around the area
of the suspected leak with a spray bottle. If bubbles appear,
repair or replace the faulty component. Do not over tighten any
connections.
STORAGE
Before storing the compressor for a prolonged period, use
an air blow gun to clean all dust and debris from the compressor.
Disconnect the power cord and coil it up. Pull the tank safety
valve to release all pressure from the tank. Drain all moisture from
the tank. Clean the filter elements and filter housings; replace
the elements if necessary. Drain the oil from the pump crankcase
and replace it with new oil. Cover the entire unit to protect it from
moisture and dust.
