Maintenance
Electronically draining the tank of moisture (B)
□ Perform manual test to verify operation.
□ Adjust cycle time to the middle of each scale.
Monitor periodically during use and adjust
the cycle so that all the water is drained from
the tank and a minimum of compressed air
is vented.
WARNING: Disconnect, tag, and lock out power source,
and then release all pressure from the system before
attempting to install, service, relocate, or perform any
maintenance.
All repairs should be performed by an authorized service
representative.

Checking and changing the oil
Maintain the proper oil level by checking the oil sight glass
(1) daily. Change the oil in the pump every 3 months. Use the
following procedure to change (or add) oil.
□ Run the compressor for ten minutes to warm up the oil if the
unit has not been in use for an extended period of time.
□ Turn the compressor off and disconnect the compressor
from the power source.
□ Position a pan under the pump drain plug (2) to catch the oil.
□ Remove the pump drain plug (2) and allow the oil to collect
in the pan.
□ Reinsert the oil drain plug. Remove the oil fill cap (3) from
the pump. Pour new, unused oil into the pump. Do not
overfill.
□ Reinsert the oil fill cap (3) into position. Return power
to the compressor for use.

Checking the ASME safety valve
□ Run the air compressor until it reaches cut-out pressure.
□ Turn the compressor off and disconnect the compressor
from the power source.
□ Put on safety glasses. Protect yourself from fast moving air.
□ Pull on the ring of the ASME safety valve (1). This
releases pressure from the tank. The safety valve should
automatically close at approximately 40-50psi.
If the safety valve does not allow air to be released when you
pull on the ring, or if it does not close automatically, it MUST be
replaced.

Manually draining the tank of moisture (A)
□ Turn the compressor off
and disconnect it from the
power source.
□ Release the pressure from the
compressor by pulling on the
ASME safety valve. The ASME
safety valve should close at
approximately 40-50psi.
□ Open the drain valve (1)
underneath the tank.
Remaining air pressure will
assist in removing moisture from the tank.

NOTE: Any tubing or hose connected to the outlet of the in valve
must be secured to not allow uncontrolled movement during operation.
