CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES

Check Safety Valve
Drain Tank
Unit cycles automatically when power is on. When performing
maintenance, you may be exposed to voltage sources, compressed air, or
moving parts. Personal injuries can occur. Before performing any maintenance
or repair, disconnect power source from the compressor and bleed off all air
pressure.
NOTE: See Operation section for the location of controls.

TO CHECK SAFETY VALVE

Risk of Bursting. If the safety valve does not work properly,
over-pressurization may occur, causing air tank rupture or an explosion.
Risk from Flying Objects. Always wear certified safety
equipment: ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3) with side shields.
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
