Draining the tank

WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Air tanks contain
high pressure air. Keep face 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.
WARNING: Risk from noise. Use ear protection (ANSI
S12.6 (S3.19), as air flow noise is loud when draining.
WARNING: Risk of bursting. Water will condense in the
air tank. If not drained, water will corrode and weaken the
air tank causing a risk of air tank rupture.
NOTE: All compressed air systems generate condensate
that accumulates in any drain point (e.g., tanks, filter,
after-coolers, dryers). This condensate contains lubricating
oil and/or substances which may be regulated and must
be disposed of in accordance with local, state, and federal
laws and regulations.
NOTE: If drain valve is plugged, release all air pressure.
The valve can then be removed, cleaned, then reinstalled.
NOTE: Risk of property damage. Drained water from the
air tank may contain oil and rust which can cause stains.

Drain the water from the tank by opening the
drain valve (2) on the bottom of the tank.

After the water has been drained, close the
drain valve (2). The air compressor can now
