Draining The Tank; Checking The Safety Valve; End Of Operation/Storage - Husky H15123TK Manual Del Operador

DRAINING THE TANK

See Figure 9 - 10.
To help prevent tank corrosion and keep moisture out of
the air used, the tank of the compressor should be drained
daily.
A correct use of the drain valve:
Verify that the compressor is turned off.
Holding the handle, tilt the compressor toward the drain
valve so that it's set in a lower position.
Open the drain valve completely.
Keep the compressor tilted (figure 10) until all moisture
has been removed.
Drain moisture from tank into a suitable container.
NOTE: Condensate is a pollution material and should
be disposed of in compliance with local regulations.
If drain valve is clogged, release all air pressure by
pulling the safety valve. Remove and clean valve, then
reinstall.
WARNING:
Unplug the air compressor and release all air from
the tank before servicing. Failure to depressurize tank
before attempting to remove valve may cause serious
personal injury.
Turn off drain valve until completely closed.

CHECKING THE SAFETY VALVE

See Figure 11.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to tamper with safety valve. Anything
loosened from this device could fly up and hit you.
Failure to heed this warning could result in death or
serious personal injury.
The safety valve will automatically release air if the air
receiver pressure exceeds the preset maximum. The valve
should be checked before each day of use by pulling the
ring by hand.
Turn the air compressor on and allow the tank to
fill. The compressor will shut off when the pressure
reaches the preset maximum.
Turn the air compressor off.
Pull the ring on the safety valve to release air for twenty
seconds.
Release the ring. Air will stop escaping when the ring
is released at approximately 20 psi. Any continued
loss of air after releasing the safety valve ring indicates
a problem with the safety valve. Discontinue use
and seek service before continued use of the air
compressor.
OPERATION
(Rotate drain valve right to open)
SAFETY
VALVE
WARNING:
If air leaks after the ring has been released, or if the
valve is stuck and cannot be actuated by the ring,
Do Not use the air compressor until the safety valve
has been replaced. Use of the air compressor in this
condition could result in serious personal injury.

END OF OPERATION/STORAGE

Turn ON/OFF power switch to the OFF position.
Unplug power cord from wall outlet and wrap around handle
area to prevent damage when not in use.
Wearing safety glasses drain tank of air by pulling the ring on
the safety valve. Use other hand to deflect fast moving air from
being directed toward your face.
Drain tank of condensation by opening drain valve on bottom of
tank. Tank pressure should be below 10 psi when draining tank.
Air hose should be disconnected from compressor and hung
open ends down to allow any moisture to drain.
Compressor and hose should be stored in a cool, dry place.
