STORAGE
Before you store the air compressor,
make sure you do the following:
1. Review the "Maintenance"
section on the preceding pages
and perform scheduled
maintenance as necessary.
2. Set the On/Auto/Off lever to
"OFF" and unplug unit.
3. Turn the regulator
counterclockwise and set the
outlet pressure to zero.
4. Remove the air tool or accessory.
5. Pull ring on safety valve allowing
air to bleed from the tank until
tank pressure is approximately 20
psi. Release safety valve ring.
6. Drain water from air tank by
opening drain valve 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.
7. After the water has been drained,
close the drain or drain valve.
NOTE: If drain valve is plugged,
release all air pressure. The valve can
then be removed, cleaned, then
reinstalled.
8. Protect the electrical cord and air
hose from damage (such as being
stepped on or run over). Wind
them loosely around the
compressor handle.
9. Store the air compressor in a
clean and dry location.
