Draining the Tank
To help prevent tank corrosion and keep moisture out of the
air used, the tank of the compressor should be drained daily.
To drain:
● Verify that the compressor is turned off.
● Holding the handle, tilt the compressor toward the drain
valve so that it's set in a lower position.
● Open the drain valve by rotating it ¼ turn counterclockwise.
● Keep the compressor tilted until all moisture has been
removed.
● Drain moisture from tank into a suitable container.
NOTE: Condensate is a polluting material and should be
disposed of in compliance with local regulations.
● If drain valve is clogged, release all air pressure by pulling
the safety valve. Remove and clean valve, then reinstall.

Checking the Safety Valve
DANGER: Do not attempt to tamper with safety
valve. Anything loosened from this device could
fly up and hit you. Failure to heed this warning
could result in death or serious personal injury.
The safety valve will automatically release air if the air receiver
pressure exceeds the preset maximum. The valve should be
checked before each day of use by pulling the ring by hand.
● Turn the air compressor on and allow the tank to fill. The
compressor will shut off when the pressure reaches the
preset maximum.
● Turn the air compressor off.
● Pull the ring on the safety valve to release air for three
to five seconds.
● Release the ring. Air must immediately stop escaping when
the ring is released. Any continued loss of air after releasing
the safety valve ring indicates a problem with the safety
