CHECKING SAFETY VALVE (FIG. 1)
Hot surfaces. Risk of burn. Aftercooler, pump head, and surrounding parts are
very hot, do not touch (see the Hot Surfaces identified in Fig. 2). Allow compressor to cool
prior to servicing.
Risk of bursting. If the safety valve does not work properly, over-pressurization
may occur, causing air tank rupture or an explosion.
Risk from flying objects. Always wear certified safety equipment :
ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3) with side shields when using the compressor.
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.
CHECKING AIR FILTER ELEMENT (FIG. 1)
Hot surfaces. Risk of burn. Aftercooler, pump head, and surrounding parts are
very hot, do not touch (see the Hot Surfaces identified in Fig. 2). Allow compressor to cool
prior to servicing.
2. Allow unit to cool.
3. Remove air filter (L) from unit.
4. If element needs cleaning, blow out with air. Replace if needed. Purchase replacement
parts from your local dealer or authorized service center. Always use identical
replacement parts.
