2. Close the globe valve.
3. Remove the air tool or accessory.
4. Open the globe valve and allow the air to slowly bleed from the air tank until
tank pressure is approximately 20 PSI.
5. Close the globe valve.
6. Drain water from air tank by opening drain valve on bottom of tank.
7. After the water has been drained, close the drain valve. The air compressor
can now be stored.
If drain valve is plugged, release all air pressure. The valve can then be
removed, cleaned, then reinstalled.
Use 30W compressor oil or a heavy duty SAE 30W, non-detergent, SF
grade or better oil DO NOT use multi-weight automotive engine oils, they will
reduce compressor life. Under extreme winter condition use SAE-10 weight oil.
Crankcase oil capacity is approximately 48 fluid ounces (1.4 L).
