Unplug power cord from wall outlet and attach to clip that is molded on the side ofthe top shroud.3. Drain tank of condensation as outlined in the Drain Tank section below.4. Wearing safety glasses, drain tank of any remaining air pressure by pulling thering on the safety valve. Use other hand to deflect any fast moving air that may bedirected towards your face.5. Store compressor in a cool, dry place.MaintenanceDisconnect power source then release all pressure from thesystem before attempting to install, service, relocate orperform any maintenance. Service should be performed by an authorized servicerepresentative.The compressor should be checked often for any visible problems and thefollowing maintenance procedures should be performed each time the compressor isused.ASMe SAFety VALVeDo not remove or attempt to adjust the safety valve!Check the safety valve by performing the following steps:1. Plug the compressor in and run until shut off pressure is reached (see OperatingProcedure).2. Wearing safety glasses, pull the ring on the safety valve to release pressure fromcompressor tank. Use your other hand to deflect fast-moving air from beingdirected toward your face.3. The safety valve should automatically close at approximately 40-50 psi. If the safetyvalve does not allow air to be released when you pull on the ring, or if it does notclose automatically, it MUST be replaced.DrAIn tAnk1. Turn compressor off at foot pedal switch.2. Check air pressure in tank. To properly drain tank of condensation, tank pressureshould be between 20-60 psi. Drain system will not work if there is no pressurein the tank. If tank pressure is above 60 psi, drain tank by pulling the ring on thesafety valve. The safety valve should release air and then automatically close atapproximately 40-50 psi.3. Slowly turn easy drain knob, located below the tank gauge, to the left(counterclockwise) until fluid begins to fill drain cup. Watch draining to make suredrain cup does not overflow. If there is a lot of fluid in the tank, you may need toclose drain knob by turning fully to the right (clockwise) then remove the drain cupto dispose of fluid.4. When fluid stops draining, close drain knob by turning all the way to the right(clockwise).5. Lift cup up and pull out to dispose of drained fluid. Reinsert cup, making sure tosecure in place.Figure 18 - Draining tankTank PressureGaugeEasy-DrainKnobEasy-Drain CupFill Line
