Quiet Oil-Free Air Compressor

MAINTENANCE

Draining The Air Tank

The frequency at which you should drain the air tank
depends on the environmental conditions and the amount of
operating time logged. The average draining frequency
is every 1 to 2 days.
1. Place the air compressor above a container capable of
holding water.
2. With compressed air in the air tank, slowly turn the drain
valve knob to the forward (open) or straight position.
The water in the air tank will drain out.
3. After all of the accumulated water has drained out, turn
the drain valve knob to the closed or left position in order
to avoid leakage.
4. draining the air tank protects parts from rust
and corrosion.
Cleaning Or Changing The Air Filter
The air filter is designed to reduce noise and help prevent
particulates in the air from entering and damaging the air
compressor.
After being used for a period of time, the air filter will be-
come clogged. This will reduce the air intake capabilities of
the air compressor, reducing performance. Therefore, the air
filter must be cleaned or replaced regularly.
1. Open the lid on the air filter, then remove the air filter ele-
ment.
2. To clean the element blow off or brush off the dirt and
dust.
3. If clogged, replace with a new air filter.

Testing For Leaks

Make sure all connections are tight. do not overtighten.
A small leak in any hose or pipe connection will reduce the air
compressor's performance.
To test for small leaks, spray a small amount of soapy water
on the area suspected of leaking. If the soap bubbles, replace
the broken part.

Cleaning

Clean items with a soft brush, or wipe with a moistened cloth
using a biodegradable solvent.
Do not use flammable liquids such as gasoline or alcohol.
Always keep parts clean from dirt and dust for better
performance.

Pressure Switch

The pressure switch is factory pre-set to shut off at ~125 PSI
and to re-start at between ~95 PSI.

STORAGE

Before storing for a prolonged period of time:
1. Turn off the power supply.
2. disconnect the power cord from the power supply and
wrap the power cord around the air compressor handle to
reduce the risk of damage.
3. Pull the relief valve and release all the pressure from the air
tank. drain the water from the tank through the drain valve.
4. Clean the air compressor to remove all dirt and dust.
5. Cover the air compressor with a cover to protect the unit
from dust and moisture.
6. do not stack or store any items on top of or around the air
compressor. damage could occur.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE TO RAIN.
