OPERATION
WARNING
Always disconnect the air supply and power supply
before making adjustments, servicing a tool, or when a
tool is not in use.
DRAINING THE TANK
See Figure 6-1, 6-2.
To help prevent tank corrosion and keep moisture out of the air
used, the tank of the compressor should be drained daily.
To drain:
gTurn the air compressor off.
gPull the ring on the pressure relief valve to release until
pressure gauge reads less than 20 psi.
gRelease the ring.
gOpen the drain valve allowing air to bleed from the
tank. (6-1)
gTilt tank as shown in figure 8 to drain moisture from tank
into a suitable container.
NOTE: Condensate is a polluting material and should be
disposed of in compliance with local regulations.
gIf drain valve is clogged, release all air pressure, remove
and clean valve, then reinstall.
WARNING
Unplug the air compressor and release all air from the
tank before servicing. Failure to depressurize tank before
attempting to remove valve may cause serious personal
injury.
gClose the drain valve. (6-2)

CHECKING THE PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
See Figure 7-8.
DANGER
Donotattempttotamperwiththepressurereliefvalve.
Anythingloosenedfromthisdevicecouldyupandhit
you.Failuretoheedthiswarningcouldresultindeathor
serious personal injury.
The pressure relief valve will automatically release air if
the air receiver pressure exceeds the preset maximum.
The valve should be checked before each day of use by
pulling the ring by hand.
gTurntheaircompressoronandallowthetanktoll.The
compressor will shut off when the pressure reaches the
preset maximum.
gTurn the air compressor off.
gPull the ring on the pressure relief valve to release air for
 threetoveseconds.
gReleasethering.Airmustimmediatelystopescaping
when the ring is released. Any continued loss of air
after releasing the ring indicates a problem with the
 pressure relief valve. Discontinue use and seek service
before continued use of the air compressor.
WARNING
If air leaks after the ring has been released, or if the valve
is stuck and cannot be actuated by the ring, do not use the
air compressor until the pressure relief valve has been
replaced. Use of the air compressor in this condition
could result in serious personal injury.

MAINTENANCE
WARNING
When servicing, use only identical Husky replacement
parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or
cause product damage.
WARNING
Do not attempt to modify this product or create
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side
shields during power tool operation or when blowing dust.
If operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.
WARNING
Always release all pressure, disconnect from power
supply, and allow unit to cool to the touch before cleaning
or making repairs on the air compressor.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Humidity in the air causes condensate to form in the air tank.
This condensate should be drained daily and/or every hour,
using the instructions found in Draining the Tank.
The pressure relief valve automatically releases air if the air
receiver pressure exceeds the preset maximum. Check the
pressure relief valve before each use following the instructions
found in Checking the Pressure Relief Valve.
Inspect the tank yearly for rust, pin holes, or other imperfections
that could cause it to become unsafe.
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics
are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial
solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to
remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING
Donotatanytimeletbrakeuids,gasoline,petroleum-
based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or
destroy plastic which may result in serious personal
injury.Electrictoolsusedonberglassmaterial,wallboard,
spackling compounds, or plaster are subject to accelerated
wearandpossibleprematurefailurebecausetheberglass
chips and grindings are highly abrasive to bearings,
brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently, we do not
recommended using this tool for extended work on these
types of materials. However, if you do work with any of
these materials, it is extremely important to clean the tool
using compressed air.
LUBRICATION
Allofthebearingsinthistoolarelubricatedwithasufcient
amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under
normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further lubrication
of the bearings is required.
CLEANING THE AIR FILTER
See Figure 10.
Fromtime to time, theairlter needs to beremovedand
cleaned.
gTurn the air compressor off.
gUnplug the air compressor.
g Turntheairtercovercounterclockwisetoremove.
g Removeairlterfromairlterhousing.
g Blowcompressedairthroughtheairlterfor10-15seconds.
