NOTE: See "Operation" section for
the location of controls.
To ensure efficient operation and
longer life of the air compressor unit,
a routine maintenance schedule
should be prepared and followed.
The above routine maintenance
schedule is geared to an unit in
a normal working environment
operating on a daily basis. If
necessary, the schedule should be
modified to suit the conditions under
which your compressor is used. The
modifications will depend upon the
hours of operation and the working
environment. Compressor units in
an extremely dirty and/or hostile
environment will require a greater
frequency of all maintenance checks.
Unit cycles
automatically when
power is on. When performing
maintenance, you may be exposed
to voltage sources, compressed air,
or moving parts. Personal injuries
can occur. Before performing any
maintenance or repair, disconnect
power source from the compressor
and bleed off all air pressure.
To Check Safety Valve
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".
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
opening drain valve (counter-
clockwise) on bottom of tank.
