To Check Safety Valve
If the safety valve does not work properly, over-
pressurization may occur, causing air tank rupture
or an explosion. 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.
To Drain Tank
1. Set the On/Auto/Off lever to "OFF".
2. Pull the regulator knob out and turn clockwise to set the outlet pressure to
zero.
3. Remove the air tool or accessory.
4. Pull ring on safety valve allowing air to bleed from the tank until tank
pressure is approximately 20 psi. Release safety valve ring.
5. Drain water from air tank by opening drain valve on bottom
of tank.
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. The
air compressor can now be stored.
NOTE: If drain valve is plugged, release all air pressure. The
valve can then be removed, cleaned, then reinstalled.
How to Start:
1. Turn the On/Auto/Off lever to "AUTO" and allow tank pressure to build.
Motor will stop when tank pressure reaches "cut-out" pressure.
2. Turn regulator knob clockwise to increase pressure and stop when desired
pressure is reached. The compressor is ready for use.
NOTE: Always operate the air compressor in well-ventilated areas free of
gasoline or other combustible vapors. If the compressor is being used to
operate a sprayer DO NOT place near the spray area.
