DRAINING THE TANK
See figure 8.
To help prevent tank corrosion and keep liquid and vapor
condensate out of the air supply, drain the compressor tank at
the end of each day's use.
To drain the tank:
Holding the compressor by its handle, tilt it in the direction of
the drain valve so that the valve is set in a lower position.
Open the drain valve by rotating it ¼ turn counterclockwise
(fig. 8).
Keep the unit tilted until all liquid and vapor condensate has
been drained into a suitable container.
NOTE: Condensate is a polluting material; dispose of it in
compliance with local regulations.
Close the drain valve by rotating it ¼ turn clockwise (fig. 8).
WARNING
If drain valve is clogged, unplug air
compressor, release tank pressure by pulling the safety valve
ring, and contact a qualified repair facility for service.

CHECKING THE SAFETY VALVE
See figure 9.
DANGER
Anything loosened from this device could fly up and hit you.
Failure to heed this warning could result in death or serious
personal injury.
The safety valve will automatically release air if the air receiver
pressure exceeds the preset maximum. The valve should be
checked before each day of use by pulling the ring by hand.
Turn the air compressor on and allow the tank to fill. The
compressor will shut off when the pressure reaches the preset
maximum.
Turn the air compressor off.
Pull the ring on the safety valve (fig. 9) to release air for twenty
seconds.
Release the ring. Air will stop escaping when the ring is
released. Any continued loss of air after releasing the
safety valve ring indicates a problem with the safety valve.
Discontinue use and seek service before continued use of the
air compressor.
WARNING
or if the valve is stuck and cannot be actuated by the ring, do
not use the air compressor until the safety valve has been
replaced. Use of the air compressor in this condition could
result in serious personal injury.
