11.0 Dismantling and Disposal
There is no requirement for the air compressor to be dismantled during normal operation other than
for major repair / overhaul or prior to final disposal at the end of its service life.
Dismantling should only be carried out by a mechanically proficient person with access to proper
tools or alternatively by your Airmac dealer.
Before dismantling the compressor, switch off the unit, disconnect the power supply, turn off the
fuel supply valve, carefully de-pressurise and drain the air receiver tank, drain out the fuel tank and
piping, and drain the lubricating oil from the compressor pump and engine.
Do not pollute the environment by improper or illegal disposal of the waste oil, fuel and condensate.
Air receiver tanks should be rendered unusable for pressure service prior to disposal, for example by
cutting or massive deformation. This is to prevent their unauthorised and unsafe use by others.
Do not pollute the environment by improper or illegal disposal of the compressor either as a whole
or dismantled. Take the unwanted unit or components to your local recycling centre instead. The
compressor is made almost entirely of metal that can usually be sold to scrap metal recyclers.
