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.

-- Objects. Always
wear certified safety equipment:
ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA
Z94.3) with side shields
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
_Risk of Unsafe

from noise. Air tanks contain high
pressure air. Keep face and other
body parts away from outlet of
drain. Use ANSI Z87.1 eye protection
(CAN/CSA Z94.3) when draining as
debris can be kicked up into face.

tank pressure is approximately
20 psi. Release safety valve ring.
5. Drain water from air tank by
opening drain valve on bottom of
tank.
Risk of Bursting.
Water will condense
in the air tank. If not drained, water
will corrode and weaken the air tank
causing a risk of air tank rupture.

from air tank may contain oil and
rust which can cause stains.
6. After the water has been drained,
close the drain valve. The air
compressor can now be stored.
