3.
Remove the wing nut (R) from filter
assembly.
4.
Remove outer metal cover (S).
5.
Check filter element (T). If it is dirty, blow
compressed air through the element for
10-15 seconds or replace, if needed. If the
filter element is filled with paint, replace it.
6.
Place filter element into housing and
reattach the outer cover with the wing nut.
CAUTION: Risk of unsafe operation. Do not operate without air
filter.
Draining Air Tank (Fig. 2)
WARNING: Risk of unsafe 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.
WARNING: Risk from noise. Use ear protection (ANSI S12.6
(S3.19) as air flow noise is loud when draining.
NOTE: All compressed air systems generate condensation 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 (O)".
2.
Pull ring on safety valve allowing air to bleed from the tank until
tank pressure is approximately 20 PSI. Release safety valve
ring.
3.
Drain water from air tank by opening drain valve (clockwise) on
bottom of tank.
WARNING: Risk of bursting. Water will condense in the air tank.
S
If not drained, water will corrode and weaken the air tank causing a
T
R
risk of air tank rupture.
NOTICE: Risk of property damage. Drain water from air tank may
contain oil and rust which can cause stains.
4.
After the water has been drained, close the drain valve
(counterclockwise). The air compressor can now be stored.
NOTE: If drain valve is plugged, release all air pressure. The valve
can then be removed, cleaned, then reinstalled.
Compressor Pump Oil (Fig. 3)
NOTICE: Risk of property damage. Use air compressor oil only.
Multi-weight automotive engine oils like 10W30 should not be
used in air compressors. They leave carbon deposits on critical
components, thus reducing performance and compressor life.
NOTE: Use synth
NOTE: Crankcase oil capacity is approximately 53 fluid ounces
(1.46 liter).
Checking
1.
The oil level should be to the middle of the sight glass (X).
2.
If needed, remove oil fill plug (Y) and slowly add oil until it
reaches the middle of the sight glass.
Changing
WARNING: Drain tank to release air pressure before removing the
oil fill plug or oil drain plug.
1.
Remove the oil fill plug (Y).
2.
Remove the oil drain plug (W) and drain oil into a suitable
container.
