CHECKING THE PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
See Figure 7-8.
DANGER
Do not attempt to tamper with the pressure relief valve.
Anything loosened from this device could fly up and hit
you. Failure to heed this warning could result in death or
serious personal injury.
The pressure relief valve will automatically release air if
the air receiver pressure exceeds the preset maximum.
The valve should be checked before each day of use by
pulling the ring by hand.
g Turn the air compressor on and allow the tank to fill. The
compressor will shut off when the pressure reaches the
preset maximum.
g Turn the air compressor off.
g Pull the ring on the pressure relief valve to release air for
three to five seconds.
g Release the ring. Air must immediately stop escaping
when the ring is released. Any continued loss of air
after releasing the ring indicates a problem with the
pressure relief valve. Discontinue use and seek service
before continued use of the air compressor.
WARNING
If air leaks after the ring has been released, or if the valve
is stuck and cannot be actuated by the ring, do not use the
air compressor until the pressure relief valve has been
replaced. Use of the air compressor in this condition
could result in serious personal injury.
