cycles automatically when power
is on. When servicing, you may
be exposed to voltage sources,
compressed air, or moving parts.
Before servicing unit unplug or
disconnect electrical supply to
the air compressor, bleed tank
of pressure, and allow the air
compressor to cool.
To ensure efficient operation and lon-
ger life of the air compressor, a routine
maintenance schedule should be pre-
pared and followed. The above routine
maintenance schedule is geared to an
air compressor in a normal working
environment operating on a daily basis.
If necessary, the schedule should be
modified to suit the conditions under
which your air compressor is used.
The modifications will depend upon
the hours of operation and the work-
ing environment. Compressors in an
extremely dirty and/or hostile environ-
ment will require a greater frequency of
all maintenance checks.
NOTE: See Operation section for the
location of controls.

CSA Z94.3) with side shields.
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.

and other body parts away from
outlet of drain. Use eye protection
[ANSI Z87.1 (CAN/CSA Z94.3)] when
draining as debris can be kicked up
into face.
(ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) as air flow noise
is loud when draining.
NOTE: All compressed air systems
generate condensate that accumulates
in any drain point (e.g., tanks, filter, after-
coolers, dryers). This condensate con-
tains lubricating oil and/or substances
which may be regulated and must be
disposed of in accordance with local,
state, and federal laws and regulations.
1.
Set the Auto/Off switch to "Off"
and unplug unit.
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.

will corrode and weaken the air tank
causing a risk of air tank rupture.
from air tank may contain oil and rust
which can cause stains.
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, the rein-
