Before starting compressor, pull the ring on the safety valve
to make sure that the safety valve operates freely. If the valve
is stuck or does not operate smoothly, it must be replaced with
the same type of valve.
Checking Air Filter
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.
A dirty air filter will not allow the compressor to operate at full
capacity. Keep the air filter clean at all times.
1. Ensure engine START/RUN/OFF switch (C) is in the OFF posi-
tion.
2. Allow unit to cool.
3. Remove the wing nut (P).
4. Remove the outer metal cover (Q).
5. Remove element (R) from filter base.
6. If element needs cleaning, blow out
with air. Replace if needed. Purchase
replacement parts from your local deal-
er or authorized service center. Always
use identical replacement parts.
7. Place element back in filter base.
8. Place the outer metal cover back over
the filter element.
9. Secure with the wing nut.
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. 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.
P
3. Drain water from air tank by opening drain valve (counterclock-
wise) on bottom of tank.
Q
WARNING: Risk of bursting. Water will condense in the air
tank. If not drained, water will corrode and weaken the air tank
R
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.
