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". and unplug unit.
3. Risk of Flying Objects. Pull the regulator knob out and
turn counter-clockwise to set the outlet pressure to
zero when removing hose or accessories to prevent hose backlash.
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.
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.
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. Loosen knobs on handle and fold handle down for storage. Retighten
knobs.
9. Protect the electrical cord and air hose from damage (such as being
stepped on or run over). Wind them loosely around the compressor
handle.
