from noise. Air tanks contain high
pressure air. Keep face and other
body parts away from outlet of
drain. Use ANSI Z87.1 eye protection
(CAN/CSA Z94.3) when draining as
debris can be kicked up into face.
Use ear protection [(ANSI S12.6
(S3.19) hearing protection] as air
flow noise is loud when draining.
1. Set the Auto/Off switch to "Off".
2. Pull the regulator knob out and
turn clockwise to set the outlet
pressure to zero.
3. Remove the air tool or accessory.
4. Pull ring on safety valve allowing
air to bleed from the tank until
tank pressure is approximately 20
PSI. Release safety valve ring.
5. Drain water from air tank by open-
ing drain valve on bottom of tank.
condense in the air tank. If not
drained, water will corrode and
weaken the air tank causing a risk
of air tank rupture.
water from air tank may contain oil
and rust which can cause stains.
6. After the water has been drained,
close the drain valve. The air com-
pressor can now be stored.
NOTE: If drain valve is plugged,
release all air pressure. The valve can
then be removed, cleaned, the rein-
stalled.

only. Multi-weight automotive
engine oils like 10W30 should
not be use in air compressors.
They leave carbon deposits on
critical components, thus reducing
performance and compressor life.
Checking
1. Place unit on a level surface.
2. Remove the oil fill plug (A). The oil
level should be even with the top
of the fill hole and no lower than 6
threads from the top of fill hole.
2. If needed, slowly add oil until it
reaches the top of fill hole.
NOTE: Use 30W compressor oil or
a heavy duty SAE 30W, non-deter-
gent, SF grade or better oil DO NOT
use multi-weight automotive engine
oils, they will reduce compressor life.
Under extreme winter condition use
SAE-10 weight oil.
Changing
1. Place unit on a level surface.
2. Remove the oil fill plug (A).
3. Remove the oil drain plug (B) and
drain oil into a suitable container.
4. Replace the oil drain plug (B) and
tighten secure.
