5. Drain water from air tank by opening drain valve (counter-clockwise) on

bottom of tank.

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.
6. After the water has been drained, close the drain valve (clockwise). The air

compressor can now be stored.

NOTE: If drain valve is plugged, release all air pressure. The valve can then be
removed, cleaned, and then reinstalled.

Oil

Risk of Bursting. Drain tank to release air pressure before

removing the dipstick or oil drain plug. See "To Drain

Tank" in this section.

Risk of Burns. Compressor head and cylinder sleeve are

very hot. Do not touch. Allow compressor to cool prior

to servicing.

Risk from Flying

Objects. Make sure air

vent (C) in dipstick is free from debris.

If air vent is blocked pressure can

build in crankcase causing damage to

air compressor and possible personal

injury. See Troubleshooting for

correction.

Risk of Unsafe

Operation. Overfilling

with oil will cause premature

compressor failure. Do not overfill.

2. Remove dipstick (A) and check oil on dipstick for visual signs of

contaminants (water, dirt, etc).

3. Wipe oil from dipstick.
