Draining Tanks; Checking Air Filter - Grizzly T32336 Owner's Manual

Draining Tanks

Some water may accumulate in the tanks depend-
ing on usage and humidity. Drain water from
the tanks daily to increase the lifespan of the
compressor and air tools and to prevent tank
corrosion.
To drain tanks:
1.
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
Releasing air through safety relief valve
can be extremely loud. Protect hearing
with ANSI-approved hearing protection in
following step.
2.
Use safety relief valve to reduce tank pres-

Checking Air Filter

The air filter helps prevent impurities and dust
from entering the compressor and reduces noise.
A dirty filter will result in a less efficient system
and could become a fire hazard.
To check air filter:
1.
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
Releasing air through safety relief valve
can be extremely loud. Protect hearing
with ANSI-approved hearing protection in
following step.
2.
Use safety relief valve to reduce tank pres-
sure to less than 10 PSI.
3.
While holding base of filter assembly in place,
turn filter cap counterclockwise to remove
cap (see Figure 28).
