CARE AND MAINTENANCE
6. Check the safety valve by performing the following
steps:
a. Restore power to unit; turn pressure switch to the
AUTO position. Run until unit reaches 90 psi.
Turn pressure switch to OFF position.
b. Wearing safety glasses and hearing protection,
pull the ring on the safety valve to release
pressure from compressor tank. Protect yourself
from fast-moving air being released; do not allow
fast-moving air to be directed toward your face
(See Figure 3).
c. The safety valve should automatically close at
approximately 40-50 psi. If the safety valve does
not allow air to be released when you pull on the
ring, or if it does not close automatically, it MUST
be replaced.
7. Check belt for signs of excessive wear. If belt shows
signs of wear, replace it. Check belt for proper
tension / alignment.
