WARNING! Before any maintenance or adjustments to your air compressor,
always take the following safety precautions:
1. Disconnect electrical power.
2. Open the drain cock to drain air tank of pressure.

Before each use:
1. Check Safety valve. 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, contact a trained service technician.
WARNING! If the safety valve does not work properly, over-pressurization may
occur, causing air tank rupture or an explosion.
2. Be sure all nuts and bolts are tight.
3. Check for any unusual noise or vibration.
After use: Open the air tank drain cock to drain condensation from tank:
NOTE: Allow unit to cool before draining tank, drain valve becomes hot during
operation.
Moisture in compressed air will form into droplets as it comes from an air
compressor pump. When humidity is high or when compressor is in continuous
use for an extended period, this moisture will collect in the tank. If left for a while,
moisture will cause corrosion inside of the tank. To prevent corrosion, drain tank
after each use:
1. Set the Off/Auto-On switch to "Off" (O).
2. Turn the regulator knob counter-clockwise to set the outlet pressure to zero.
3. Pull and hold ring on safety valve allowing air to bleed from the tank until air
pressure is minimized.
4. Place unit on blocks to lift unit off of ground.
5. Place suitable container under unit to catch water.
6. Slightly tilt unit and turn drain valve counter clockwise to open.
7. Place unit back onto blocks to drain water from air tank
8. After draining is complete, be sure to tighten it before compressor is used
again.
moNTHlY mAiNTeNANCe:
1. Inspect air system for leaks by applying soapy water to all joints. Tighten
those joints if leakage is observed.
2. Check that all nuts and bolts stay tight.
CAUTION:
= All air line components (including hoses, pipe, connectors, filters, & regula-
tors, etc.) must be rated for a minimum working pressure of 150 psi / 1034
kPa / 10.3 bar or 150% of the maximum system pressure, whichever is
greater.
= Disconnect any tools from the air supply before performing maintenance,
clearing a jammed fastener, leaving the work area, moving the tool to an-
other location, or handing it to another person.
= When cleaning air filter, or any parts in direct contact with the air production,
do not use any flammable or toxic cleaner or solvent.
