  One very important thing to do is to empty the tank when not regularly
using the compressor.  This helps to keep moisture out of the tank, and thus,
prolongs its life.

It's also a good idea to put a filter between the tank & the outlet to trap
excessive moisture.  Again, this will prolong life of your tools.

Best of luck with your "new" compressor.
