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
