NOTE: All compressed air systems generate condensate that accumulates in any drain point (e.g. tanks, filter, aftercoolers, dryers). This condensate contains lubricating oil and/or substances which may be regulated and must be disposed of in accordance with local, state, and federal laws and regulations. 1. Ensure On/Auto/Off switch is in the OFF position. 2. Place a suitable container under the drain valve (H) to catch discharge. 3. Grasp lever on drain valve. 4. Slowly rotate lever to gradually bleed air from air tank. WARNING: Risk of bursting. Drain air tank daily. Water will condense in air tank. If not drained, water will corrode and weaken the air tank causing a risk of air tank rupture. CAUTION: Risk of property damage. Drain water from air tank may contain oil and rust, which can cause stains. 5. When air tank pressure gauge reads 10 PSI, rotate valve to the fully open position. 6. Close drain valve when finished. Checking Air Filter Element (Fig. 1) WARNING: Hot surfaces. Risk of burn. Outlet tube, pump head, and surrounding parts are very hot, do not touch. Allow compressor to cool prior to servicing. 1. Ensure ON/OFF switch (A) is in the OFF Position. 2. Allow unit to cool. 3. Remove filter cover (J) from base. 4. Remove element from filter base. 5. Place new element back in filter base. Purchase replacement parts from your local dealer or authorized service center. Always use identical replacement parts. 6. Snap filter cover to filter base. J CAUTION: Risk of unsafe operation. Do not operate without air inlet filter ACCESSORIES Recommended accessories for use with your tool are available for purchase from your local dealer or authorized service center.

SCFM: Standard cubic feet per minute; a unit of measure of air delivery. PSI: Pounds per square inch; a unit of measure of pressure. kPa (kilopascal): Metric pressure measurement. 1 kilopascal equal 1000 pascals. Code Certification: Products that bear one or more of the following marks: UL, CUL, ETL, CETL, have been evaluated by OSHA certified independent safety laboratories and meet the applicable Underwriters Laboratories Standards for Safety. Cut-In Pressure: While the motor is off, air tank pressure drops when accessory is used. When the tank pressure drops to a certain low level the motor will restart automatically. The low pressure at which the motor automatically restarts is called cut-in pressure. Cut-Out Pressure: When an air compressor is turned on and begins to run, air pressure in the air tank begins to build. It builds to a certain high pressure before the motor automatically shuts off, protecting your air tank from pressure higher than its capacity. The high pressure at which the motor shuts off is called cut-...
