Power Craft 5259 Compressor

Bought this new some time ago, been in the back of the garage since then.
The User Manual is a bit vague about things but got it up and running now.
My query is what to do when I'm finished using it for the day.
The Manual doesn't mention "switching off", do I just leave things or does it need de-pressuring,
etc., if so, how please.

Best to switch the thing off every time, but I leave mine under pressure with no issues. There's likely to be a water drain on the bottom? Use that frequently to minimise rust and it lets the pressure out too. Also just use a blow gun or whatever if you need to depressurise in the meantime.

As Burnerman says...

Looking at pictures of yours, it looks quite easy to reach the drain off point on your machine. If you don't have an air blower, just undo the valve on the underside of the body. Sometime rusty water can be expelled, so don't leave it sitting on white carpet when you open it.

I was taught that it is best practice to depressurise them when not in use for a while..
