Draining the Tank
Air tanks are under high pressure.
WARNING
Keep face and other body parts
away from outlet when relieving pressure. Always
wear proper eye protection marked to comply
with ANSI Z87.1.
To help prevent tank corrosion and keep moisture
out of the air used, the air tank of the compressor
should be drained daily.
To drain:
1. Turn off the air compressor and remove the battery
pack.
2. Pull the ring on the release valve to release air
until tank pressure gauge reads less than 20 psi.
3. Release the ring.
4. Turn the drain valve 90° counterclockwise to the
ON (open) position.
5. Tilt tank to drain moisture from tank into a suitable
container. NOTE: Condensate is a polluting mate-
rial and should be disposed of in compliance with
local regulations.
6. If a drain valve is clogged, release all air pressure,
remove and clean valve, then reinstall.
7. When storing, leave drain valve open to allow
moisture to completely drain out and help prevent
corrosion on the inside of tank.
8. Turn the drain valve 90° clockwise to the OFF
(closed) position.
Checking the Release Valve
Do not tamper with the release
DANGER
valve. The release valve will auto-
matically release air if the air tank pressure ex-
ceeds the cut-out pressure. The release valve
must work properly when operating the air
compressor. If the release valve is stuck open,
or does not open when the ring is pulled, contact
a MILWAUKEE service facility for repairs.
The release valve should be checked before each
day of use by pulling the ring by hand.
1. Install the battery pack.
2. Turn the air compressor to AUTO ON (I) and allow
the tank to fill. The compressor will shut off when
the pressure reaches the cut-out pressure.
3. Turn the air compressor OFF (O).
4. Pull the ring on the release valve to release air
pressure for three to five seconds. Release the
ring. The release valve must reset and hold pres-
sure before all compressed air is exhausted from
the tank/pressure vessel.
5. If air continues to escape once the release valve
is closed, contact a MILWAUKEE service facility
for repairs.
MAINTENANCE
To reduce the risk of injury, always
WARNING
unplug the charger and remove the
battery from the charger or tool before perform-
ing any maintenance. Never disassemble the tool,
battery or charger. Contact a MILWAUKEE service
facility for ALL repairs.
Always turn OFF (O) the air compressor, remove
the battery pack, release all pressure, discon-
nect air hose and air tools, allow unit to cool to
the touch, and drain the tank before cleaning or
making repairs on the air compressor.
Maintaining Tool
Keep your tool, battery and charger in good re-
pair by adopting a regular maintenance program.
Inspect your tool for issues such as undue noise,
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts, or any other condition that may affect the
tool operation. Return the tool, battery, and charger
to a MILWAUKEE service facility for repair. After six
months to one year, depending on use, return the
tool, battery and charger to a MILWAUKEE service
facility for inspection.
If the tool does not start or operate at full power with
a fully charged battery, clean the contacts on the bat-
tery. If the tool still does not work properly, return the
tool, charger and battery, to a MILWAUKEE service
facility for repairs.
To reduce the risk of personal in-
WARNING
jury and damage, never immerse
your tool, battery or charger in liquid or allow a
liquid to flow inside them.
Clean dust and debris from vents. Keep handles
clean, dry and free of oil or grease. Use only mild
soap and a damp cloth to clean, since certain clean-
ing agents and solvents are harmful to plastics and
other insulated parts. Some of these include gasoline,
turpentine, lacquer thinner, paint thinner, chlorinated
cleaning solvents, ammonia and household deter-
gents containing ammonia. Never use flammable or
combustible solvents around tools.
Always turn OFF the air compressor, remove the
battery pack, release all pressure, disconnect air
hose and air tools, allow unit to cool to the touch,
and drain the tank before storing. Leave drain valve
open to allow moisture to completely drain out and
help prevent corrosion on the inside of tank.
For repairs, return the tool, battery and charger to
the nearest authorized service center.
