4 If filter needs cleaning, blow out with air. Replace if needed.
Purchase replacement parts from your local dealer or
authorized service center. Always use identical replacement
parts.
5. Place filter back in filter base.
CAUTION: Risk of unsafe operation. Do not operate without air
filter.
Draining Air Tank
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. Set the Auto/Off switch to "Off (O)".
2. Turn the regulator knob counterclockwise 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 opening drain valve 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.
6. After the water has been drained, close the drain valve. The air
compressor can now be stored.
NOTE: If drain valve is plugged, release all air pressure. The valve
can then be removed, cleaned, then reinstalled.
Air Compressor Pump Intake and Exhaust
Valves
Once a year have a Trained Service Technician check the air com-
pressor pump intake and exhaust valves.
Inspect Air Lines and Fittings for Leaks
1. Set the Auto/Off Switch to "Off (O)", unplug the unit, and
relieve all air pressure from the air tank.
2. Apply a soap solution to all air line fittings and connections/
piping.
3. Correct any leaks found.
IMPORTANT: Even minor leaks can cause the air compressor
to overwork, resulting in premature breakdown or inadequate
performance.
