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
contain high pressure air. keep face
and other body parts away from
outlet of drain. Use eye protection
[ANSI Z87.1 (CAN/CSA Z94.3)] when
draining as debris can be kicked up
into face.
[ANSI S12.6 (S3.19)] 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,
aftercoolers, dryers). This condensate
contains 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 Auto/Off switch to "Off".
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 open-
ing drain valve on bottom of tank.
in the air tank. If not drained, water
will corrode and weaken the air tank
causing a risk of air tank rupture.
Risk of Property
Damage. Drain water
from air tank may contain oil and rust
which can cause stains.
Risk from Flying
Objects. Always
Risk of unsafe
operation. Air tanks
Risk from noise.
Use ear protection
Risk of Bursting.
Water will condense
6.
After the water has been drained,
close the drain valve. 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-
stalled.
OiL
compressor oil only. Multi-weight
automotive engine oils like 10W30
should not be use in air compressors.
They leave carbon deposits on
critical components, thus reducing
performance and compressor life.
NOTE: Use 30W compressor oil or a
heavy duty SAE 30W, non-detergent,
SF grade or better oil. DO NOT use
multi-weight automotive engine oils,
they will reduce compressor life.
Under extreme winter condition use
SAE-10 weight oil.
NOTE: Crankcase oil capacity is
approximately 16 fluid ounces (0.47 L).
Checking
1.
The oil level should be to the
middle of the sight glass (C).
2.
If needed remove oil fill plug (A)
and slowly add oil until it reaches
the middle of the sight glass.
B
Changing
1.
Remove the oil fill plug (A).
2.
Remove the oil drain plug (B) and
drain oil into a suitable container.
3.
Replace the oil drain plug (B) and
tighten securely.
