Before you store the air compressor,
make sure you do the following:
1. Review the Maintenance section
on the preceding pages and per-
form scheduled maintenance as
necessary.
2. Set the On/Auto/Off lever to "Off"
and unplug unit.
3. Turn the regulator counterclock-
wise and set the outlet pressure to
zero.

air to bleed from the tank until
tank pressure is approximately 20
psi. Release safety valve ring.
6. Drain water from air tank by open-
ing drain valve on bottom of tank.

in the air tank. If not drained, water
will corrode and weaken the air tank
causing a risk of air tank rupture.

release all air pressure. The valve
can then be removed, cleaned, then
reinstalled.

hose from damage (such as being
stepped on or run over). Wind

pressor handle.
