MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
should be performed by an authorized service representative.
The compressor should be checked often for any visible problems and the following maintenance procedures
should be performed each time the compressor is used.
ASME Safety Valve
Check the safety valve by performing the following steps:
1. Plug the compressor in and run until shut off pressure is reached
(see Operating Procedure).
2. Wearing safety glasses, pull the ring on the safety valve (see
Figure 3) to release pressure from compressor tank. Use your
other hand to deflect fast-moving air from being directed toward
your face.
3. The safety valve should automatically close at approximately 40 -
50 psi. If the safety valve does not allow air to be released when
you pull on the ring, or if it does not close automatically, it MUST
be replaced.
Drain Tank
With compressor shut off and pressure released: Drain moisture
from tank by opening drain valve underneath tank (See Figure 4).
Cleaning
Turn power OFF and clean dust and dirt from motor, tank, air lines
and pump cooling fins.
IMPORTANT: Unit should be located as far from spraying area as
hose will allow to prevent over-spray from clogging air filter.
Air Filter
Check air filter to be sure it is clean. To service a filter, remove the filter housing cover. Remove filter and clean in
hot, soapy water (paper filters cannot be washed). Rinse and let dry. Replace air filters that cannot be cleaned.
Place filter back in the housing base. Replace cover.
Lubrication
This is an oilless type compressor requiring no lubrication.
End of Operation/Storage
1. Turn On/Off switch (
2. Unplug power cord from wall outlet and wrap around handle to prevent damage when not in use.
3. Wearing safety glasses drain tank of air by pulling the ring on the safety valve. Use other hand to deflect fast
moving air from being directed toward your face.
4. Drain tank of condensation by opening drain valve on bottom of tank. Tank pressure should be below 10 psi
when draining tank.
5. Air hose should be disconnected from compressor and hung open ends down to allow any moisture to drain.
6. Compressor and hose should be stored in a cool, dry place.
10
Disconnect power source then release all pressure from the system before
attempting to install, service, relocate or perform any maintenance. Service
Do not remove or attempt to adjust the
safety valve!
Safety valve must be replaced if it cannot
be actuated or it leaks air after ring is released.
