TO CHECk SAFETY VALVE
Risk of bursting. If the
safety valve does not work properly,
over-pressurization may occur, caus-
ing air tank rupture or an explosion.
Risk
from
Objects. Always wear certified safety
equipment: ANSI Z87.1 eye protection
(CAN/CSA Z94.3) with side shields.
1.
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
Risk
of
operation. 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. Use
ear protection (ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) as
air flow noise is loud when draining.
NOTE: All compressed air systems gen-
erate condensate that accumulates in any
drain point (e.g., tanks, filter, aftercoolers,
dryers). This condensate contains lubri-
cating 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 On/Auto/Off lever to "Off".
2.
Close the globe valve.
3.
Remove the air tool or accessory.
4.
Open the globe valve and allow the
air to slowly bleed from the air tank
until tank pressure is approximately
20 psi.
5.
Close the globe valve.
6.
Drain water from air tank by open-
ing drain valve on bottom of tank.
Risk
of
Water will condense in the air tank.
If not drained, water will corrode and
weaken the air tank causing a risk of
air tank rupture.

age. Drain water from air tank may
contain oil and rust which can cause
stains.
7.
After the water has been drained,
close the drain valve. The air com-
Flying
pressor can now be stored.
NOTE: If drain valve is plugged, release
all air pressure. The valve can then be
removed, cleaned, then reinstalled.
OIL
oil only. Multi-weight automotive
engine oils like 10W30 should not be
use in air compressors. They leave
carbon deposits on critical compo-
nents, thus reducing performance
and compressor life.
unsafe
NOTE: Use 30W compressor oil or a
heavy duty SAE 30W, nondetergent,
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
ity is approximately 16 fluid ounces
(0.47 L).
Checking
1.
Remove the oil fill plug (A). The oil
level should be even with the top
of the fill hole and no lower than 6
threads from the top of fill hole.
2.
If needed, slowly add oil until it
reaches the top of fill hole.

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.
