CARE AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Risk of Explosion. Disconnect, tag
and lock out power source, then
release all pressure from the system
before attempting to install, service,
relocate or perform any maintenance.
All repairs should be performed by an authorized service representative.
For efficient operation, perform the following maintenance.
1. Disconnect power cord plug from power source
receptacle. Clean debris from motor, flywheel,
tank, air lines and pump cooling fins.
2. Maintain proper oil level. Refer to Lubrication
section (Pg 9) for details.
3. Change oil.
a. Allow compressor to run and warm up oil
Disconnect power cord plug from power
source receptacle.
b. Position a pan under pump.
c. Remove oil drain plug (Shown in Figure 11).
Allow oil to collect in pan.
d. Replace drain plug, fill pump to full level
(Shown in Figure 11). See Lubrication section
(Pg 9) of this manual.
4. Drain Tank. Disconnect, tag and lock out power
source; release pressure. Drain moisture from
tank by opening drain valve underneath tank
(Shown in Figure 12).
5. Check air filter to be sure it is clean.
Replace filter if filter is dirty.
MOISTURE IN COMPRESSED AIR
Moisture in compressed air will form into droplets
as it comes from an air compressor pump. When
humidity is high or when a compressor is in
continuous use for an extended period of time, this
moisture will collect in the tank. When using a paint
spray or sandblast gun, this water will be carried
from the tank through the hose, and out of the gun
as droplets mixed with the spray material.
IMPORTANT: This condensation will cause water
spots in a paint job, especially when spraying other
than water based paints. If sandblasting, it will
cause the sand to cake and clog the gun, rendering
it ineffective. A filter in the air line, located as near to
the gun as possible, will help eliminate this moisture.
NOTICE
Unit care and maintenance. Drain liquid from
tank daily.
