NOTE: Ring may be difficult to pull when air tank pressure is at 0 psi. If the valve is stuck or does
not operate smoothly, it must be replaced with the same type of valve.
DRAINING AIR TANK (FIG. 1)
Risk of unsafe operation. Risk from noise. Air tanks 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.
Risk from noise. Always wear proper hearing protection during use. Under
some conditions and duration of use, noise from this product may contribute to hearing loss.
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 sub-
stances which may be regulated and must be disposed of in accordance with local, state, and
federal laws and regulations.
Risk of bursting. Drain air tank daily. Water will condense in 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.
1. Ensure Auto/Off switch is in the OFF position.
2. Lift compressor into an inclined position so drain valve (M) is at the lowest point (this will
assist in removing moisture, dirt, etc. from air tanks).
3. Place a suitable container under the Drain Valve (M) to catch discharge.
4. Grasp lever on Drain Valve (M).
5. Slowly rotate lever to gradually bleed air from air tank.
6. When air Tank Pressure Gauge (K) reads 10 psi, rotate valve to the fully open position.
7. Close Drain Valve (M) when finished.
CHECKING AIR FILTER ELEMENT (FIG.1)
Hot surfaces. Risk of burn. Outlet tube, pump head, and surrounding parts are
very hot, do not touch. Allow compressor to cool prior to servicing.
1. Ensure Auto/Off switch (L) is in the OFF Position.
2. Allow unit to cool.
3. Remove filter cover (J) from base.
4. Remove element from filter base.
5. Place new element back in filter base. Purchase replacement parts from your local dealer
or authorized service center. Always use identical replacement parts.
6. Snap filter cover to filter base.
Do not operate without air inlet filter
