Draining the tank
□ Turn off the compressor.
□ Pull the safety valve pull ring (K) to remove all air pressure
from the tank. Continue to hold the safety valve open until
both pressure gauges show 0 PSI. Next, unplug the air
compressor from the power source.
□ Position a suitable container below the drain valve.
Fully open the drain valve (B).
□ Keep the compressor tilted until all moisture has been
removed.
□ If the drain valve (B) is clogged, unplug the compressor
and pull the drain valve (B) to remove all air pressure.
Remove and clean the drain valve (B) and then reinstall it.
Apply sealant tape (not included) to the threads of the
drain valve (B) to reduce the likelihood of air leaks.

WARNING: Failure to unplug the air compressor and
depressurize the tank before removing the valve may cause
serious personal injury.

reaches the preset maximum.
□ Turn off the air compressor.
□ Pull the ring on the safety valve (K) for 20 seconds to

seek service before using the air compressor again.
DANGER: Do not tamper with the safety valve. Items

heed this warning could result in death or serious personal
injury. The safety valve automatically releases air when the
receiver pressure exceeds the preset maximum. Check the
valve.

or if the valve is stuck. Do not use the air compressor until
the safety valve has been replaced. Using the air compressor
in this condition could result in serious personal injury.
