STORAGE
Before you store the air compressor,
make sure you do the following:
1. Review the "Maintenance"
section on the preceding
pages and perform scheduled
maintenance as necessary.
2. Set the On/Auto/Off lever to
"OFF".
3. Turn the regulator
counterclockwise and set the
outlet pressure to zero.
4. Remove the air tool or accessory.
5. Pull ring on safety valve allowing
air to bleed from the tank until
tank pressure is approximately
20 psi. Release safety valve ring.
6. Drain water from air tank by
opening drain valve on bottom of
tank.
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.
7. After the water has been drained,
close the drain or drain valve.
NOTE: If drain valve is plugged,
release all air pressure. The valve
can then be removed, cleaned, then
reinstalled.
8. Protect the electrical cord and
air hose from damage (such as
being stepped on or run over).
Wind them loosely around
the compressor handle. (If so
equipped)
Store the air compressor in a clean
and dry location.
5. Using an adjustable wrench or
5/8" wrench remove the regulator
manifold.
6. Apply pipe sealant to new
regulator manifold and assemble,
tighten with wrench.
7. Reapply pipe sealant to gauges,
quick connect, and safety valve.
8. Reassemble all components in
reverse order of removal. Make
sure to orient gauges to read
correctly and use wrenches to
tighten all components.
To Replace Regulator
1. Release all air pressure from air
tank. See "To Drain Tank" in the
Maintenance section.
2. Unplug unit.
3. Using an adjustable wrench or
specified wrench remove the
gauges (7/16" wrench), quick
connect (13/16" wrench), and
safety valve (9/16" wrench) from
the regulator manifold.
4. Remove the hose by removing
the hose clamp. NOTE: The hose
clamp is not reusable. You must
purchase a new hose clamp, see
the Parts List Manual or purchase
a standard hose clamp at a local
hardware store.
