Operating Instructions and Parts Manual
Maintenance
Release all pressure from the system before attempting to install, service,
relocate or perform any maintenance.
Do not attempt to tamper with the ASME safety valve!
In order to maintain efficient operation of the compressor system, check the air filter
weekly (per maintenance schedule), oil level and gasoline level before each use. The
ASME safety valve should also be checked weekly. Pull ring on safety valve and allow
the ring to snap back to normal position. This valve automatically releases air if the
tank pressure exceeds the preset maximum. If air leaks after the ring has been released,
or the valve is stuck and cannot be actuated by the ring, the ASME safety valve must be
replaced.
With engine OFF, clean debris from engine, flywheel, tank, air lines and pump cooling
fins.

Never attempt to repair or modify a tank! Welding, drilling or any other
modifi cation will weaken the tank resulting in damage from rupture or
explosion. Always replace worn, cracked or damaged tanks.
Drain liquid from tank daily.
The tanks should be carefully inspected at a minimum of once a year. Look for cracks
forming near the welds. If a crack is detected, remove pressure from tank immediately
and replace.
