Yearly Checks:

• Heat Exchangers (air and water-cooled) – Check cooling performance of air and oil cores – see

Section 6 of this manual for details on typical performance expectations as well as recommended

cleaning procedures.

• Pressure Relief Valve – Check operation of device – see Section 11 for test procedure.

• Motor Lubrication – Inspect motors for abnormal noise and vibration. Grease-lubricate per

guidelines included in Section 13 of this manual.

• Compressor/Motor shaft couplings – Check coupling element for signs of wear and tear – see

Section 8 for detailed instruction on coupling inspection procedures.
