Storage
When storing your air compressor, fol-
low these guidelines:

OFF.
Turn the regulator counter-clockwise
2.
to set the delivery pressure to zero.
3.
Remove the air tool or accessory.
Pull the safety drain valve ring to
4.
bleed excess pressure from tank. The
pressure gauge for the tank should
read 15-20 PSI.
Drain water from the tank by opening
5.
the drain valve on the bottom of the
tank.
Close the drain valve when all the

water has been released.
Store air compressor in its normal

Water will condense in the air com-
pressor tank. Water left in the tank
can cause the tank to weaken and
corrode, increasing the risk of tank
rupture
