DRAINING TANKS
WA R N I N G : Tanks contain high pressure air. Keep face and other
body parts away from outlet of drain. Use safety glasses when
draining as debris can be kicked up into face. Use ear protection as air
flow noise is loud when draining.
N O T E : All compressed air systems generate condensate that
accumulates in any drain point (e.g. tanks, filter, aftercoolers, dryers).
This condensate contains lubricating oil and/or substances which may
be regulated and must be disposed of in accordance with local, state,
and federal laws and regulations.
1 . Ensure ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position.

4 . Grasp black lever on one drain valve.
5 . Slowly rotate lever so as to gradually bleed air from tank.
6 . Grasp black lever on other drain valve and rotate to approximately
the same position as the first. (For twin tank units)
