can occur. Before performing any maintenance or repair, disconnect power source from the compressor
and bleed off all air pressure.
To ensure efficient operation and longer life of the air compressor outfit, a routine maintenance schedule should
be prepared and followed. The following routine maintenance schedule is geared to an outfit in a normal working
environment operating on a daily basis. If necessary, the schedule should be modified to suit the conditions
under which your compressor is used. The modifications will depend upon the hours of operation and the work-
ing environment. Compressor outfits 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.
To Check Safety Valve
pressurization may occur, causing air tank
rupture or an explosion.
1. Before starting compressor, pull 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

1. Set the On/Auto/Off lever to "OFF".
2. Pull the regulator knob out and turn clockwise to
set the outlet pressure to zero.
3. Remove the air tool or accessory.

4. Pull ring on safety valve allowing air to bleed from
the tank until tank pressure is approximately 20
psi. Release safety valve ring.
5. Drain water from air tank by opening drain valve
(counter-clockwise) on bottom of tank.
drained, water will corrode and weaken the air
tank causing a risk of air tank rupture.
6. After the water has been drained, close the drain
valve (clockwise). The air compressor can now
be stored.
NOTE: If drain valve is plugged, release all air pressure.
The valve can then be removed, cleaned, then rein-
stalled.
