CARE AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING: To avoid personal injury, always shut off and unplug the unit and relieve all air
pressure from the system before performing any service on the air compressor.
Regular maintenance will ensure trouble-free operation. The items listed here should be inspected on
a regular basis.
• On a daily basis, drain the tank to prevent corrosion from forming inside the tank. Drain the
condensation at the end of every day. Wear protective goggles. Relieve the air pressure in the
system and then open the drain valve on the bottom of the tank.
• On a daily basis, pull the relief valve on the ring to ensure that it is operating properly and to clear
the valve of any possible obstructions.
• Check all connections to ensure they are tight. A small leak of any part of the compressor will
reduce the unit's performance. Spray a small amount of soapy water around the area of the
suspected leak with a spray bubble. If bubbles appear, repair or replace the faulty component. Do
not overtighten any connections.
• Before storing the unit for a long period, do the following:
– Use an air blow gun (not included) to clean all dust and debris from the compressor.
– Disconnect and coil the power cord.
– Pull the pressure relief valve to release all pressure from the tank.
– Drain all moisture from the tank.
– Cover the entire unit to protect it from moisture and dust.
