Operation. Unit
cycles automatically when power is
on. When servicing, you may be
exposed to voltage sources,
compressed air, or moving parts.
Before servicing unit unplug or
disconnect electrical supply to the
air compressor, bleed tank of
pressure, and allow the air
compressor to cool.
To ensure efficient operation and
longer life of the air compressor, a
routine maintenance schedule should
be prepared and followed. The
following routine maintenance
schedule is geared to an unit 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 working
environment. Compressors in an
extremely dirty and/or hostile
environment will require a greater
frequency of all maintenance checks.
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.
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" and disconnect electrical
supply.
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.
