Draining Tanks; Lubrication - Grizzly T32338 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-
sure to less than 10 PSI.
3. Open drain valve (see Figure 33) to drain
condensation from tanks.

The oil level in the Model T32338 should be
checked daily to prevent overheating and dam-
