Draining
Air
Tank
(Fig.
1)
_WARNING:
Risk of unsafe operation. Risk from noise. Air tanks
contain high pressure air. Keep face and other body parts away from
outlet of drain. Use safety glasses
[ANSI Z87.1 (CAN/CSA Z94.3)]
when draining
as debris
can be kicked up into face. Use ear
protection
[ANSI S12.6 ($3.19)] as air flow noise is loud when
draining.
NOTE: All compressed
air systems
generate
condensate
that
accumulates
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 On/Off switch is in the OFF position.
2. Move compressor
into an inclined position so drain valve (J) is
at the lowest point (this will assist in removing moisture, dirt,
etc. from air tanks)
3. Place a suitable
container
under the drain valve to catch
discharge.
4. Grasp knurled knob on drain valve.
5. Slowly rotate knob to gradually bleed air from air tank.
_t, WARNING: Risk of bursting. Drain air tank daily. Water will con-
dense in air tank. If not drained, water will corrode and weaken the
air tank causing a risk of air tank rupture.
CAUTION: Risk of property damage. Drain water from air tank may
contain oil and rust, which can cause stains.
6. When air tank pressure gauge reads 10 PSI (68,9 kPa), rotate
valve to the fully open position.
7. Close drain valve when finished.

CHECKING OiL
&WARNING:
Hot surfaces. Risk of bum. Aftercooler, pump head,
and surrounding
parts are very hot, do not touch (see the Hot
Surfaces identif#d
in Fig. 2). Allow compressor
to cool prior to
servicing.
1. Ensure On/Off switch is in the OFF position.
2. Place unit on a flat level surface.
3. Remove dipstick (K) and wipe clean.
4. Reinsert dipstick fully into oil fill port for a few
seconds
to allow
oil to collect
on the
dipstick.
5. Remove
oil dipstick
to read oil level. Oil
should
not
exceed
top
raised
line
on
dipstick,
ff oil is below
lower
mark, add
same type of oil in crankcase
and follow
Steps 4 - 6.
NOTE: When filling the crankcase,
the oil flows
very slowly into the pump. ff the oil is added too
quickly, it will overflow and appear to be full.
&CAUTION:
Risk of unsafe operation.
Overfilling
with off will cause premature
compressor
failure. Do
not overfill.
6. Replace dipstick.
CHANGING OIL
NOTE: Pump oil contains
substances
that are regulated
and
must be disposed
of in accordance
with local, state and federal
laws and regulations.
