WARNING: Risk of property damage. Over loosening the pilot valve
knob can cause damage to the pilot valve.
b. The compressor is now in constant run mode. NOTE: After the
compressor reaches blow-off pressure the unit will continue
to run but will not build additional tank pressure until the air is
used and the pilot valve reset pressure is reached. A slight air
noise may be heard while the air is being unloaded through
the pump head. If compressor shuts off, contact a D
e WALT
service center or call 1-800-4-D

the constant run mode turn pilot valve knob clockwise until it stops
before moving the Auto/Off switch (L) to the OFF(O) position.
2. Pull the regulator knob (F) out and turn counterclockwise until fully
closed. Ensure regulated pressure gauge reads 0 psi. Push knob
in to lock in place.
3. Remove hose and accessory.
WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp air hose in hand
when installing or disconnecting to prevent hose whip.
4. Drain the air tank,
see Draining Air Tank under Maintenance .
Ensure air tank pressure gauge reads 0 psi.
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.
5. Allow the compressor to cool down.
6. Wipe air compressor clean and store in a safe, non-freezing area.
