Test for
leaks
Check that all connections are tight. Small leaks in the tank, hoses,
connections or transfer tubes will substantially reduce the air compressor
and tool performance. Spray a small amount of soapy water around the
area of suspected leaks with a spray bottle. If bubbles appear, repair,
replace or re-seal the faulty component. Do not overtighten any
connections.
Monthly
Storage
Before storing the air compressor, do the following:
• Drain all moisture from the tank (see "To drain tank" in the
Maintenance section of this manual for the correct procedure).
• Use an air blow gun to clean all dust and debris from the compressor.
• Disconnect and wind up the power cord.
• Drain all moisture from the tank.
• Pull the pressure safety valve to release all pressure from the tank.
• Cover the entire unit to protect it from moisture and dust.
• Store the air compressor in a clean and dry location.
• In cold weather, store the compressor in a warm building when it is
not in use. This will reduce problems related to starting the motor and
the freezing of water condensation.
Prior to
storing
Through normal operation of your air compressor, condensation water
will accumulate in the tank. To prevent corrosion of the tank from the
inside, condensation must be drained at the end of every workday.
• Set the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.
• Unplug the power cord.
• Turn air pressure regulator knob counter-clockwise to set the outlet
pressure to zero.
• Pull and hold ring on safety valve, allowing air to bleed from the
tank until air pressure is minimized.
• Place suitable container under unit to catch water.
• Slightly tilt unit and turn drain valve counter-clockwise to open.
• After the water has been drained, close the drain valve (clockwise).
The air compressor can now be stored.
Note: Allow unit to cool before draining tank. Drain valve becomes hot
during operation.
Check
the valve
Pull/activate the safety valve daily to ensure that it is operating properly
and to clear the valve of any possible obstructions. Daily
To check safety valve
•Before starting compressor, pull the ring on the safety valve (C) to make sure
that the safety valve operates freely. If the valve is stuck or does not operate
smoothly, contact a trained service technician.
