User - Maintenance
Instructions
Disconnect power source
then release all pressure from
the system before attempting
to install, service, relocate or perform
any maintenance. Service should be
performed by an authorized service
representative.
The compressor should be checked
often for any visible problems and the
following maintenance procedures
should be performed each time the
compressor is used.
ASME SAFETY VALVE
Do not remove or
attempt to adjust
the safety valve!
Safety valve must
be replaced if it
cannot be actuated or it leaks air after
ring is released.
Check the safety valve by performing
the following steps:
1. Plug the compressor in and run until
shut off pressure is reached (see
Operating Instructions).
LUBRICATION
This is an oilless type compressor
requiring no lubrication.
END OF OPERATION/STORAGE
1. Turn ON / OFF switch to the OFF ( O )
position.
2. Unplug power cord from wall outlet
and wrap around handle area to
prevent damage when not in use.
3. Wearing safety glasses drain tank of
air by pulling the ring on the safety
valve. Use other hand to deflect
fast moving air from being directed
toward your face.
4. Drain tank of condensation by
opening drain valve on bottom of
tank. Tank pressure should be below
10 psi when draining tank.
5. Air hose should be disconnected
from compressor and hung open
ends down to allow any moisture to
drain.
6. Compressor and hose should be
stored in a cool, dry place.
TECHNICAL SERVICE
For information regarding the
operation or repair of this product,
please call 1-800-543-6400.
A large amount of
fast moving air will
be released when the safety valve is
opened with pressure in the tank. Wear
ANSI approved Z87.1 safety glasses.
2. Wearing safety glasses, pull the
ring on the safety valve to release
pressure from compressor tank. Use
your other hand to deflect fast-
moving air from being directed
toward your face.
3. The safety valve should close
automatically at approximately
40-50 psi. If the safety valve does
not allow air to be released when
you pull on the ring, or if it does
not close automatically, it MUST be
replaced.
DRAIN TANK
With compressor shut off and pressure
released, drain moisture from tank by
opening drain valve underneath tank.
CLEANING
Turn power OFF and clean dust and dirt
from pump cover, tank, and air lines.
IMPORTANT: Unit should be located as
far from spraying area as hose will allow
to prevent over-spray from clogging air
filter.
MOISTURE IN COMPRESSED AIR
Moisture in compressed air will form
into droplets as it comes from an air
compressor pump. When humidity
is high or when a compressor is in
continuous use for an extended
period of time, this moisture will
collect in the tank. When using a
paint spray or sandblast gun, this
water will be carried from the tank
through the hose, and out of the
gun as droplets mixed with the spray
material.
IMPORTANT: This condensation will
cause water spots in a paint job,
especially when spraying other than
water based paints. If sandblasting, it
will cause the sand to cake and clog
the gun, rendering it ineffective. A
filter in the air line (MP3105), located
as near to the gun as possible, will
help eliminate this moisture.
