OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
3. Shutting Down the Compressor
WARNING
To avoid personal injury, always shut off and
unplug the unit, and relieve all air pressure from
the system before performing any service on the
air compressor.
WARNING
Risk of unsafe operation. The unit cycles
automatically when power is on. When
performing maintenance, you may be exposed
to voltage sources, compressed air or moving
parts. Personal injuries can occur. Before
performing any maintenance or repair,
disconnect the power source from the
compressor and bleed off all air pressure.
CAUTION
Escaping air and moisture can propel debris that
may cause eye injury. Wear safety goggles when
opening the drain valve.
a. Set the ON/OFF switch (I) to the O (off)
position.
b. Unplug the power cord (J).
c. Reduce the pressure in the tank through the
outlet hose. Pulling the pressure relief valve
(H) and keeping it open will also reduce the
pressure in the tank.
d. Tip the compressor so the tank drain valve
(G) is at the bottom of the tank. Then open the
tank drain valve counterclockwise to allow
moisture to drain from the tank.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
4. Care and Maintenance
WARNING
To avoid personal injury, always shut off and
OFF
unplug the unit and relieve all air pressure from
the system before performing any service on
the air compressor.
Regular maintenance will ensure trouble-free
operation. The items listed here should be
inspected on a regular basis.
• On a daily basis, drain the tank to prevent
corrosion from forming inside the tank. Drain
the condensation at the end of every day.
Wear protective goggles. Relieve the air
pressure in the system and then open the drain
valve (G) on the bottom of the tank.
• On a daily basis, pull the pressure relief valve
(H) to ensure that it is operating properly and to
clear the valve of any possible obstructions.
• Check all connections to ensure they are tight.
A small leak from any part of the compressor
will reduce the unit's performance. Spray a
small amount of soapy water around the area
of the suspected leak with a spray bubble. If
bubbles appear, repair or replace the faulty
component. Do not overtighten any
connections.
• Before storing the unit for a long period, do
the following:
• Use an air blow gun (not included) to clean all
dust and debris from the compressor.
• Disconnect and coil the power cord.
• Pull the pressure relief valve to release all
pressure from the tank.
• Drain all moisture from the tank.
• Cover the entire unit to protect it from
moisture and dust.
