To Check Safety Valve
Risk of Bursting. If
the safety valve
does not work properly, over-
pressurization
may occur, causing
air tank rupture or an explosion.
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
1.
Set the On/Auto/Off
lever to
"OFF" and unplug unit.
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
opening drain valve (counter-
clockwise) on bottom of tank.
Risk of Bursting.
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.
6.
After the water has been drained,
close the drain valve (clockwise).
The air compressor
can now be
stored.
NOTE: If drain valve is plugged,
release all air pressure.
The valve
can then be removed, cleaned, and
reinstalled.
Oil
Risk of Bursting.
Drain tank to
release air pressure before
removing
the oil fill cap or oil drain
plug.
Checking
1.
Place unit on a level surface.
2.
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.
NOTE: Use an air compressor
oil
such as SAE-20 (API CG/CD heavy
duty motor oil. Under extreme winter
conditions
use SAE-10 weight oil.
Changing
1.
Place unit on a level surface.
2.
Remove the oil fill plug (A).
3.
Remove the oil drain plug (B) and
drain oil into a suitable container.
4.
Replace the oil drain plug (B) and
tighten secure.
NOTE: Use an air compressor
oil
such as SAE-20 (API CG/CD heavy
duty motor oil. Under extreme winter
conditions
use SAE-10 weight oil.
5.
Slowly fill crankcase to the top of
the fill hole. Crankcase capacity
is 16 fluid ounces (473.2 ml).
6.
Replace oil fill plug (A) and
tighten securely
