3. Turn regulator knob (F) counterclockwise until fully closed. Ensure
regulated pressure gauge reads 0 psi.
4. Remove hose and accessory.
5. Drain the air tank. See Draining Air Tank under Maintenance .
NOTICE: Risk of property damage. Place engine fuel valve lever
(M) in the OFF position before moving or transporting unit.
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.
6. Allow the compressor to cool down.
7. Wipe air compressor clean and store in a safe, non freezing area.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING:The following procedures must be followed when
maintenance or service is performed on the air compressor.
1. Ensure engine ON/OFF switch (C) is in the OFF position.
2. Disconnect spark plug wire.
3. Drain air tank.
4. Allow air compressor to cool down before starting service
NOTE: All compressed air systems contain maintenance parts (e.g.
oil, filters, separators) that are periodically replaced. These used parts
may contain substances that are regulated and must be disposed of
in accordance with local, state, and federal laws and regulations.
NOTE: Take note of the positions and locations of parts during
disassembly to make reassembly easier.
NOTE: Any service operations not included in this section should
be performed by a DeWALT factory service center or a DeWALT

Checking Safety Valve (Fig. 1)
WARNING: Hot surfaces. Risk of burn. Pump head, and
surrounding parts are very hot, do not touch (see the Hot
Surfaces identified in Fig. 2). Allow compressor to cool prior
to servicing.
WARNING: Risk of bursting. If the safety valve does not work
properly, over-pressurization may occur, causing air tank rupture
or an explosion.
WARNING: Risk from flying objects. Always wear certified safety
