5. Check daily the operation of the safety valve. This
check should be performed when the tank contains
close to max pressure in the tank.
To check the valve, pressurise the tank, and pull the ring
OUTWARDS on the safety valve.
Air should discharge from the valve.
Release the ring of the safety valve. When the ring is
released the air discharge must stop.
WARNINGS.
Safety glasses must be worn when performing this test.
Do not have your face close to the safety valve when
performing this test as air will discharge from the valve at
a high force.
If the safety valve does not operate correctly in any way
as described above, turn off the compressor immediately
and have the compressor and safety valve checked and
tested at an authorised Service centre.
DO NOT CONTINUE TO USE THE COMPRESSOR IN ANY
WAY IF THE SAFETY VALVE DOES NOT WORK AS ABOVE.
