Maintenance
Item Description / reason
Through normal operation of your
compressor, condensation of water
will accumulate in the tank. To prevent
corrosion of the tank from the inside,
condensation must be drained twice a
day. Be sure to wear safety glasses.

then open the drain valve on the bottom
tank
of the tank to drain. Under cold condi-
tions it is especially important to drain
the tank after each use to reduce the
chance of problems resulting from the
freezing of condensation water.
NOTE: Refer to instructions on how to
drain tank.
Check that all connections are tight.
Small leaks in the tank, hoses, connec-
tions or transfer tubes will substantially
reduce the compressor and tool perfor-

leaks with a spray bottle. If bubbles
appear, repair, replace or reseal the
faulty component. Do not over-tighten
any connections.
A dirty air filter will reduce compressor

How to drain tank
1. Set the pressure switch (1) to the OFF position (Fig.
D).
2. Unplug the power cord (2) (Fig. I).
3. Turn air pressure regulator knob counter-clockwise
to set the outlet pressure to zero (Fig. F)
4. Place suitable container under unit to catch water.
5. Slightly tilt unit and gently turn drain valve coun-
ter-clockwise to open. (Fig. G)
6. After the water has been drained,close the drain
valve (clockwise) (Fig. G). The air compressor can now
be stored.
How to clean the air filter
A dirty filter will reduce the unit s performance and life.
To avoid any contamination inside the pump, the filter
should be cleaned weekly and replaced on a regular
basis. The cartridge filter should be cleaned with blow
gun (Fig. H).
