MAINTENANCE

Draining the Air Tank
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 day of use.

1. Point the drain valve AWAY FROM YOUR BODY and FACE when releasing the air from the air tank.
2. Turn the drain valve lever downward to release any air pressure inside the tank. Air and water will be released at that time.
3. Invert the tank with the drain valve facing downward. This will allow any water and air to escape from the air tank..
4. Draining the air tank protects parts from rust and corrosion. Rusty water can appear.

Testing for Leaks
Make sure all connections are tight. 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.
Cleaning

• 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.

WARNING: FLYING OBJECTS

• Flying objects can cause injury to the eyes, head and other parts of the body.
• Air-powered equipment and power tools are capable of propelling items (metal chips, fasteners and particulates) at high speed into the air and could result in injury.
• Always wear approved head and eye protection.
• Never point the air stream at any part of your body, or at another person or animal.
• When operating the air compressor, make sure all other people and animals maintain a safe distance.
