8.4. Extended Storage
If the compressor will not be used for an extended period:
• Run the compressor for a few minutes with the fill valve open to flush out the
residual condensate. Stop the compressor, disassemble the intake filter, and add a
few drops of oil so that a light film of lubricant is aspirated and penetrates the
interior of the compressor. Stop the compressor and refit the intake filter.
• Clean the external parts, eliminate any moisture, salt or oil deposits.
• Store the compressor in a clean, dry location.
8.4.1. Waste Disposal
Use of the compressor generates waste that is classified as special. Wastes not classi-
fied as urban waste must be treated as special waste. Deteriorated or obsolete ma-
chines are also classified as special waste.
Waste oil must be disposed of in compliance with local ordinances.
