MAINTENANCE
CLEAN AND INSPECT DAILY
CAUTION - Disconnect tool from power supply before cleaning and inspection. Correct all problems before
operation.
Oil-free operation requires no external lubrication. Open the air release valve after operation to drain water and
contaminations out. Wipe the tool clean. Blow the tool clean using high compressed air, then use non-flammable
cleaning solutions to wipe exterior of the tool as necessary, particularly before storage. Do not soak tool with
cleaning solutions. Such solutions can damage internal parts. Keep the handle clean, dry and free from slippery
substances such as oil or grease.
Do not overtighten connections to avoid creating leaks.
Inspect the machine components before operation to make sure that there are no damaged or worn parts. Re-
place any damaged parts immediately. Do not operate if there are any damaged components. Only repair using
identical replacement parts.
Drain the tank daily after use. To minimize moisture inside of the unit, tip the compressor during drainage so that
the drain valve is aimed directly towards the ground. This will allow all moisture to collect at the bottom of the
compressor and drain completely.
TESTING FOR LEAKS
Make sure all connections are tight and secure before testing for leaks. A small leak in any hoses or connectors
will greatly reduce the abilities of the compressor. To locate a leak, simply spray a mixture of soap and water
across the entire surface of both the tank and the hose (wherever the leak is believed to be). Bubbles will begin to
appear if a leak is indeed present. Fix immediately. Try to avoid getting soapy water near any of the inlets on the
tank or the pump.
