mAINTENANCE & LubRICATION
The following procedures should be followed when stopping the com pressor
for maintenance or service:
Step 1) Per OSHA regulation 1910.147: The Control of Hazardous Energy
Source (Lockout/Tagout), disconnect and lockout the main power
source. Display a sign in clear view at the main power switch
stating that the compressor is being serviced.
Never assume a compressor is safe to work on just because it is not
operating. It could restart at any time.
Step 2)
Isolate the compressor from the compressed air supply by closing
a manual shutoff valve upstream and downstream from the
compressor. Display a sign in clear view at the shutoff valve stating
that the compressor is being serviced.
Step 3)
Open a pressure relief valve within the pressurized system to
allow it to be completely de-pressurized. NEVER remove a plug
to relieve the pressure!
Step 4)
Open all manual drain valves within the area to be serviced.
Step 5) Wait for the unit to cool before starting to service. (Temperatures
of 125°F can burn skin. Some surface tem pera tures exceed 350°F
when the compressor is operating.)
To assure maximum performance and service life of your compres sor, a
routine maintenance schedule should be developed. A sample schedule has
been included here to help you to develop a mainte nance schedule designed
for your particular application. Time frames may need to be shortened in
harsher environments.
At the back of this instruction manual you will find a Maintenance
Schedule Checklist. Make copies of this checklist and retain the master
to make more copies as needed. On a copy of the checklist, enter dates and
initials in the appropriate spaces. Keep the checklist and this Instruction
Manual readily available near the compressor.
Every 8 Hours (or Daily)
•Maintain lubricant level between high and low level marks on dipstick.
Check the lubricant level several minutes after the compressor has
run. (Discoloration or a higher lubricant level reading may indicate
the presence of condensed liquids.) If lubricant is contaminated, drain
and replace.
