CHECKING THE RELIEF VALVE
Pull the tank safety valve daily to ensure that it is operating
properly and to clear the valve of any possible obstructions.
TESTING FOR LEAKS
Check that all connections are tight. A small leak in any of
the hoses, transfer tubes, or pipe connections will substantially
reduce the performance of your air compressor. If you suspect a
leak, spray a small amount of soapy water around the area of the
suspected leak with a spray bottle. If bubbles appear, repair or
replace the faulty component. Do not over tighten any
connections.
STORAGE
Before storing the compressor for a prolonged period, use an
air blow gun to clean all dust and debris from the compressor.
Disconnect the power cord and coil it up. Pull the tank safety
valve to release all pressure from the tank. Drain all moisture
from the tank. Clean the filter element and filter housing; replace
the element if necessary. Drain the oil from the pump crankcase
and replace it with new oil. Cover the entire unit to protect it from
moisture and dust.
