MAINTENANCE
The frequency at which you should drain the
air tank depends on the environmental
conditions and the amount of operating time
logged. The average draining frequency is
every 1 to 3 days.
1. Place the air compressor above a container
capable of holding water.
2. With compressed air in the air tank, slowly
turn the drain valve knob to the forward (open)
or straight position. The water in the air tank
will drain out.
3. After all of the accumulated water has
drained out, turn the drain valve knob to the
closed or left position in order to avoid
leakage.
4. Draining the air tank protects parts from
rust and corrosion.
The air filter is designed to reduce noise and
help prevent particulates in the air from
entering and damaging the air compressor.
After being used for a period of time, the air
filter will become clogged. This will reduce the
air intake capabilities of the air compressor,
reducing performance. Therefore, the air filter
must be cleaned or replaced regularly.
1. Open the lid on the air filter, then remove
the air filter element.
2. To clean the element blow off or brush off
Draining the Air Tank
Make sure all connections are tight. Do not
overtighten.
A small leak in any hose or pipe connection
will reduce the air compressor's performance.
To test for small leaks, spray a small amount
of soapy water on the area suspected of
leaking. If the soap bubbles, replace the
broken part.
Clean items with a soft brush, or wipe with a
moistened cloth using a biodegradable
solvent.
Do not use flammable liquids such as
gasoline or alcohol. Always keep parts clean
from dirt and dust for better performance.
The pressure switch is factory pre-set to shut
off at between 115 - 120 PSI and to re-start
at between 85 -90 PSI.

3. If clogged, replace with a new air filter.

STORAGE
CAUTION:
To reduce the risk of
electric shock, do not expose to rain
Store indoors.
Before storing for a prolonged period of time:
1. Turn off the power supply.
2. Disconnect the power cord from the power
supply and wrap the power cord around the
air compressor handle to reduce the risk of
damage.
3. Open the drain valve and release all the
pressure and water from the air tank.
4. Clean the air compressor to remove all dirt
and dust.
5. Cover the air compressor with a cover to
protect the unit from dust and moisture.
6. Do not stack or store any items on top of or
around the air compressor. Damage could
occur.
