ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT: Before carrying out any of this service work, always disconnect the
machine from the mains supply, drain the air receiver and, if necessary, allow the
machine to cool down before starting work.
Daily
Before use, always open the drain valve to ensure that any condensate, which
may have accumulated, is drained off.
Before use, make sure the cylinder head bolts are securely tightened.
Monthly
It is important to keep the Compressor clean, with the help of a small soft brush
and vacuum cleaner. In particular, the air intake
filter should be inspected at least MONTHLY, and
more often in dusty conditions, so that it is always
kept free of any dirt particles, which if not
cleaned away will affect the performance of
the machine.
To clean the air intake filter, unscrew the cover
and carefully prise out the element shown in
Fig.2. Clean the inner housing using a cloth or
brush.
If the filter is clogged or badly blackened, it should
be replaced. It is not possible to wash the filter
