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 lon-
ger life of the air compressor, a routine
maintenance schedule should be pre-
pared and followed. The above routine
maintenance schedule is geared to
an air compressor in a normal work-
ing environment operating on a daily
basis. If necessary, the schedule
should be modified to suit the condi-
tions under which your air 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 fre-
quency of all maintenance checks.
NOTE: See "Operation" section for
the location of controls.

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.

Use safety glasses when draining
as debris can be kicked up into
face. Use ear protection (ANSI S12.6
(S3.19) hearing protection) as air flow
noise is loud when draining.
NOTE: All compressed air systems
generate condensate that accumulates
in any drain point (e.g., tanks, filter, after-
coolers, dryers). This condensate con-
tains 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. Set the On/Auto/Off lever to "Off"
and unplug unit.
2. Pull the regulator knob out and
turn counterclockwise 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 open-
ing drain valve (counterclockwise)

will corrode and weaken the air tank
causing a risk of air tank rupture.
water from air tank may contain oil
and rust which can cause stains.
6. After the water has been drained,
close the drain valve (clockwise).
The air compressor can now be
stored.
NOTE: If drain valve is plugged,
release all air pressure. The valve can
then be removed, cleaned, the rein-
