MAINTENANCE

WARNING:
To avoid personal injury, always shut off and
unplug the compressor and relieve all air pressure from
the system before performing any service on the air
compressor.
Regular maintenance will ensure trouble free operation.
Your electric powered air compressor represents high quality
engineering and construction; however, even high quality
machinery requires periodic maintenance. The items listed
below should be inspected on a regular basis.

DRAINING THE TANK

WARNING:
tank. To prevent corrosion of the tank from the inside,
this moisture must be drained at the end of every
workday. Be sure to wear protective eyewear. Relieve
the air pressure in the system and open the petcock
on the bottom of the tank to drain.
NOTE: In cold climates, drain the tank after each use to
reduce problems with freezing of water
condensation.

CLEANING THE AIR FILTER

A dirty air filter will reduce the compressor's performance
and life. To avoid any internal contamination of the pump, the
filter should be cleaned frequently and replaced on a regular
basis. Foam filters should be cleaned in warm, soapy water. Do
not allow the filter to become filled with dirt or paint. Direct
exposure to dirty conditions or painting areas will void your
warranty.

CHECKING THE OIL

Check the level of oil in the pump with the sight glass. The
pump oil level must be between X and Y. Do not overfill or
underfill.
NOTE: 10W-30 All weather air compressor oil is
recommended for general use.

CHANGING THE OIL

Remove the oil plug (see A) and drain the oil until it slows
to a drip, then close. Add compressor oil until it is between full
(see X) and add (see Y). Never overfill or underfill the pump.

CHECKING THE RELIEF VALVE

Pull the relief valve daily to ensure that it is operating
properly and to clear the valve of any possible obstructions.

TESTING FOR LEAKS

Check that all connections are tight. A small leak in any of
the hoses, transfer tubes, or pipe connections will substantially
reduce the performance of your air compressor. If you suspect
a leak, spray a small amount of soapy water around the area of
the suspected leak with a spray bottle. If bubbles appear, repair
or replace the faulty component. Do not overtighten any
connections.

STORAGE

Before storing the compressor for a prolonged period, use
an air blow gun to clean all dust and debris from the
compressor. Disconnect the power cord and coil it up. Pull the
pressure relief valve to release all pressure from the tank.
Drain all moisture from the tank. Clean the filter element and
filter housing; replace the element if necessary. Cover the
entire unit to protect it from moisture and dust.
