INTERVAL
Drain the tank
To prevent corrosion of the tank from the inside, the
condensation must be drained at the end of every
workday. Be sure to wear protective goggles. Relieve the
air pressure in the system and open the drain valve on the
bottom of the tank in order to drain it.
Daily
Check the oil
Check the oil level in the pump through the oil sight glass.
The oil level in the pump must be within the red circle.
Do not over-fill or under-fill.
Daily
Check the relief valve
Pull the relief valve on the ring every day in order to
ensure that it is operating properly and in order to clear
the valve of any possible obstructions.
Daily
Clean the air filter
A dirty filter will reduce the performance and the life of the
compressor. In order to avoid any contamination of the
inside pump, the filter should be cleaned frequently and
replaced on a regular basis. The foam filter should be
cleaned using warm and soapy water.
Weekly
Test for leakage
Check all connections to verify that they are tight. A small
leak in the tank, hoses, pipe connections, or transfer tubes
will reduce the performance of the compressor.
Spray a small amount of soapy water around the area of
the suspected leak with a spray bottle. If bubbles appear,
repair or replace the faulty component. Do not over-tighten
the connections.
N/A
Storage
Before storing the compressor for a long period, use an air
blowgun to clean all dust and debris from the compressor.
Disconnect and coil the power cord. Pull the pressure
relief valve in order to release all pressure from the tank.
Drain all moisture from the tank. Cover the entire
compressor in order to protect it from moisture and dust.
