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
Risk of unsafe
operation. Air tanks
contain high pressure air. Keep face
and other body parts away from
outlet of drain. Use eye protection
[ANSi Z87.1 (CAN/CSA Z94.3)] when
draining as debris can be kicked up
into face.
Risk from noise.
Use ear protection
(ANSi S12.6 ($3.19} as air flow noise
is loud when draining.
NOTE: All compressed air systems
generate condensate that accumulates
in any drain point (e.g., tanks, filter, after-
coolers, dryers). This condensate con-
tains lubricating oil and/or substances
which may be regulated and must be
disposed of in accordance with local,
state, and federal laws and regulations.
1. Set the Auto/Off lever to "Off".
2. Slowly bleed the air from the air
tank and air distribution system
until tank pressure is approximate-
ly 20 psi.
3. Drain water from air tank by open-
ing 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.
_Risk of property
damage. Drain water
from air tank may contain oil and rust
which can cause stains.
4. After the water has been drained,
close the drain valve. The air com-
pressor can now be stored.
NOTE: If drain valve is plugged,
release all air pressure. The valve can
then be removed, cleaned, then rein-
stalled.
Oil
_Risk of property
damage. Use air
compressor oil only. Multi-weight
automotive engine oils like 10W30
should not be use in air compressors.
They leave carbon deposits on
critical components, thus reducing
performance and compressor life.
NOTE: Use 30W compressor oil or a
heavy duty SAE 30W, non-detergent,
SF grade or better oil. DO NOT use
multi-weight automotive engine oils,
they will reduce compressor life. Under
extreme winter condition use SAE-10
weight oil.
NOTE: Crankcase oil capacity is
approximately 16 fluid ounces (0.47 L).
Checking
1. The oil level should be to the
middle of the sight glass (C).
2. If needed remove oil fill plug (A)
and slowly add oil until it reaches
the middle of the sight glass.
Changing
1. Remove the oil fill plug (A).
2. Remove the oil drain plug (B) and
drain oil into a suitable container.
3. Replace the oil drain plug (B) and
tighten securely.
4. Slowly add compressor oil until
the oil level is in the middle of the
sightglass (C). NOTE: When filling
the crankcase, the oil flows very
slowly into the pump. If the oil is
added too quickly, it will overflow
and appear to be full.
