Draining Air Tank
(refer to Fig. 3, pg. 17)
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.
NOTE: All compressed air systems generate condensation that accu-
mulates in any drain point (e.g., tanks, filter, aftercoolers, 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.
1. Ensure engine START/RUN/OFF switch (C) is in the OFF posi-
tion.
2. Pull ring on safety valve allowing air to bleed from the tank until
tank pressure is approximately 20 psi. Release safety valve ring.
3. Drain water from air tank by opening drain valve (counterclock-
wise) on bottom of tank.
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.
NOTICE: Risk of property damage. Drain water from air tank may
contain oil and rust which can cause stains.
4. After the water has been drained, close the drain valve (clock-
wise).
NOTE: If drain valve is plugged, release all air pressure. The valve
can then be removed, cleaned, then reinstalled.
Compressor Pump Oil
WARNING: Hot surfaces. Risk of burn. Tubes, pump head,
and surrounding parts are very hot, do not touch (see the Hot
Surfaces identified in Fig. 2). Allow compressor to cool prior to
servicing.
NOTICE:
Risk of property damage. Use air compressor oil only.
Multi-weight automotive engine oils like 10W30 should not be used
in air compressors. They leave carbon deposits on critical compo-
nents, thus reducing performance and compressor life.
NOTE: Use full synthetic non-detergent air compressor oil.
NOTE: Crankcase oil capacity is approximately 53 fluid ounces
(1567 ml).
Checking
1. Ensure engine START/RUN/OFF switch (C) is in the OFF
Position.
2. The oil level should be to the middle of the sight glass (S).
3. If needed remove oil fill plug (I) and slowly add oil until it reaches
the middle of the sight glass.
Changing
WARNING: Hot surfaces. Risk of burn. Tubes, pump head,
and surrounding parts are very hot, do not touch (see the Hot
Surfaces identified in Fig. 2). Allow compressor to cool prior to
servicing.
WARNING: Drain tank to release air pressure before removing
the oil fill cap or oil drain plug.
1. Ensure engine START/RUN/OFF switch (C) is in the OFF
position.
2. Allow the unit to cool.
3. Disconnect spark plug wire.
