what is the best way for a compressor
leave it under pressure or leave it empty
keeping it under pressure might make for more condensate as there is
more air which means more water and also more pressure on the seals
but the seals could be designed by a clever engineer and do better
when used as designed
leave it empty and with drain plug open might let condensate build
up inside as it might be a little cooler but then the seals are exposed
to air and might dry out and shrink
or forget about it and just make some stuff which is what i usually
do with this sort of dilemma

I just shut it off. Starts out under pressure, but eventually is is not
Fittings leak, tools, leak, hoses leak. Few systems go more than 12
hours.

Didn't you RTFM when you obtained the device?

I don't what language you read in, so I'll leave it up to you. You've
got a few choices here:

i do due to noise but i unplug the air delivery too and the tank keeps
pressure for a long time
days or maybe weeks but maybe i should open it up and leave it with
no pressure
will check what the manufacturer says

Probably forgot the subject after the first 12 pages of safety warnings:
Don't eat the plastic, electrical devices will kill, everything causes
cancer in California, wear safety goggles or full face mask (on sale at
Amazing dot com) at all times, and on and on and on...
