Position the jug under the drain outlet.Notice the labeled jug and the drain outlet on the tank show in the picture.It is a simple-enough process to drain waste water condensate from the tank on a periodic basis. It can cause rust in the equipment and liquid water droplets may be expelled with the compressed air during use. This liquid water is a contaminate that can accumulate. Similarly, flow-related pressure changes in the lines and hoses will also cause moisture to condense as liquid water in lines and hoses. When this initially hot air (at pressure in the tank) then cools, the invisible moisture will condense from the air as liquid water. Hotter air holds more invisible moisture than colder air. Mechanically compressing this air causes the air to heat up. Wear PPE (eye and ear protection) and use caution to avoid injury from contact with such flying debris.ĭrain waste water condensate from the tank monthly, or as needed (Estimated time: 10 minutes)Ītmospheric air contains invisible moisture. Compressed air is typically used to blow sawdust, metal chips, and dust from the equipment.Use caution when making connections and initiating flow to avoid unintended pressure release consequences. Realize the compressed air in the lines and at outlet locations is an energy source.Vent the tank to atmospheric pressure before servicing to release this energy source. Realize the compressed air in the tank is an energy source, even after electric power is removed.Avoid entangling body parts in the (potentially) rotating machinery. Realize the enabled air compressor electric motor can and will automatically start at any time.Know the electric motor may, or may not, immediately start to rotate the compressor, based on the tank pressure. This will enable the automatic operation based on tank pressure.

How to Turn it On (Enabled for automatic start/stop) It remains enabled to automatically re-setart as needed to maintain tank pressure. When the tank pressure reaches a high-pressure set point, the electric motor automatically turns off, stopping the compressor. When the tank pressure falls below a low-pressure set point, the unit's electric motor automatically starts to operate the compressor to rebuild/restore the tank pressure. The tank pressure is typically maintained at 125 psig. Be aware that it can unexpectedly start at any time. It is typically left powered on (enabled), all the time. Its oiless and its vertical.The air compressor provides on-demand compressed air to outlet locations in the space for utility use.

I need my compressor this weekend so I would like to try to get it fixed. I could hear it last night as well while I was trying to see what was wrong with this. I have heard a hissing sound that sounds like its coming from where the air hose hooks up to on the tank where the on and off switch is. Any ideas as to what the problem is here. So tried a couple different outlets and still nothing. So I reset the breaker and tried it again and nothing. So I turned the switch to off and turned it back to on and still nothing. I know it should have kicked back on along ways befor that. So I checked to see what the air pressure was and it was all the way down to 40psi. I noticed that it wasn't kicking back on. I went back out about 45 minutes later to blow some dust off with the air nozzle. I heard it kick off when it got pumped up. It was running fine last night and it was running when I left the garage to go back into the house. I have a iron force campbell hausfeld 28gal 6.25HP air compressor that wont start.
