Risk of Unsafe
Operation.
Unit
cycles automatically
when power
is on. When servicing, you may
be exposed
to voltage sources,
compressed
air, or moving parts.
Before servicing
unit unplug or
disconnect
electrical
supply to
the air compressor,
bleed tank
of pressure,
and allow the air
compressor
to cool.
To ensure efficient operation
and lon-
ger life of the air compressor,
a routine
maintenance
schedule
should be pre-
pared and followed.
The above routine
maintenance
schedule
is geared to
an air compressor
in a normal work-
ing environment
operating
on a daily
basis. If necessary,
the schedule
should be modified
to suit the condi-
tions under which your air compressor
is used. The modifications
will depend
upon the hours of operation
and the
working
environment.
Compressors
in an extremely
dirty and/or
hostile
environment
will require a greater fre-
quency
of all maintenance
checks.
NOTE: See Operation
section
for the
location of controls.
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.
Risk from Flying
Objects.
Always
wear certified
safety equipment:
ANSI Z87.1 eye protection
(CAN/
CSA Z94.3) with side shields.
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 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.
Risk from noise.
Use ear protection
(ANSI $12.6 ($3.19) as air flow noise
is loud when draining.
NOTE: All compressed
air systems
generate condensate
that accumulates
in any drain point (e.g., tanks, filter, after-
coolers, dryers). This condensate
con-
tains 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
lever to "Off" and
unplug unit.
2.
Pull the regulator
knob out and
turn counterclockwise
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 open-
ing 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.
Risk of Property
Damage.
Drain
water from
air tank may contain oil
and rust which can cause stains.
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, the rein-
stalled.
