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.
Your air compressor is equipped with an EZ-1 Auto Drain Valve that automatically drains the air tank.
- Place the drain tube from the auto drain valve into a waste container capable of holding water.
- The Auto Drain Valve will open at the beginning of a cycle to drain the water out of the air tank.
- Empty the waste container of water regularly.
- Highly recommended to manually drain the air tank regularly (Daily) from the ball drain valve to remove excess water.
- Draining the air tank protects parts from rust and corrosion.
Changing the Air Filter
The air filters are 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 replaced regularly.
- Open the lid of the air filter and remove the old air filter element.
- Replace with a new air filter element and close the lid.
Testing for Leaks
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.
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.
AIR DRYER CANISTERS
This air compressor includes a 98% air drying system.
- Aftercoolers (Condensers)
- Air Drying Canisters (2) – Ultra Dry Service Kit
The air drying process is performed when the air flow from the air compressor is pushed through air dryer canister containing desiccant material (molecular Sieve). The desiccant captures and removes the moisture from the air.
After 2 years of use the Canister desiccant needs to be replaced.
Unscrew the old canisters counter-clockwise and discard the old desiccant
canisters (spare part is referred to as the Ultra Dry Service Kit)
