Your new air compressor represents the finest engineering and construction available. Even the best
machinery requires periodic maintenance. Please stick to the maintenance schedule and consider the
suggestions that follow to keep your compressor in peak condition.
NOTE: Always unplug or shut down your compressor and drain the air tanks completely before
attempting any type of maintenance. Wait for compressor to cool before servicing.
IMPORTANT: Replace the oil after the first 50 hours of operation.
MAINTENANCE HINTS:
LUBRICATION
Prior to each use, make a habit of checking the pump oil
level. Most direct-drive air compressors have a dipstick with
casting marks that indicate the minimum and maximum
acceptable levels of oil. Our belt-driven pumps have a sight
gauge, located on the outside of the crankcase, to make the task
even easier. Always maintain the oil level at the maximum mark
on the dipstick or to 2/3 full in the sight gauge
Do not operate the pump with an inadequate or excessive
amount of oil. The cost of failures which occur due to incorrect oil levels will not be covered
under warranty.
MAINTENANCE
1) Use a soap/water solution to check for air leaks.
2) Never clean filters with a flammable solvent.
3) Retorque head bolts only after pump has cooled.
4) Move motor 1/4" and roll belts back on to increase belt tension on
electric units.
5) Never weld on air tank(s).
6) Use heat to loosen Loctite seal on drain valves, engine pulleys, and
flywheels before attempting to remove.
DO NOT USE A DETERGENT OIL!
NOTE: Unit must be level when in operation
