CAUTION
Before performing any type of servicing, please be sure to disconnect the power source from the
compressor and drain all air from the air compressor. Failing to do so will lead to serious
injuries as compressed air and moving parts can injure you.
To ensure better operation and longer life of the air compressor, a routine maintenance schedule
should be setup and followed. The maintenance schedule above is based upon a normal working
environment and on a daily basis. If the environment conditions or operating times change to
more extreme conditions, then modifications should be made to the maintenance schedule. The
modifications made should depend on the number of hours involved in operating the compressor
as well as the environment involved. Compressors operating in extremely dirty and or hostile
environments require a more frequent maintenance schedule.
NOTES: See “Operation” section for location of controls.
CHECKING THE SAFETY VALVE
WARNING
The safety valve is a critical component in ensuring your safety. If the safety valve does not
work properly, over-pressurization may occur, causing air tank rupture or an explosion.
• Before starting the air compressor, test the safety valve by first pulling on the valve to see
that it moves freely. If the valve is stuck or does not operate smoothly, it must be
replaced with the same type of valve.
