MAINTENANCE
6.1 GENERAL
As you proceed in reading this section, it will be easy
to see that the Maintenance Program for the air
compressor is quite simple. The use of the service
indicators provided for the fluid filter, air filter and
fluid separator will alert you when service
maintenance is required. When the WS Controller
display indicates service, maintenance for that
specific item is required. Refer to Filter Maintenance
on page 62.
6.2 DAILY OPERATION
Prior to starting the compressor, it is necessary to
check the fluid level in the separator/sump tank.
Should the level be low, simply add the necessary
amount. If the addition of fluid becomes too frequent,
a simple problem has developed which is causing
this excessive loss. See the Section 6.9:
Troubleshooting— Introduction on page 65 under
EXCESSIVE COMPRESSOR FLUID
CONSUMPTION for a probable cause and remedy.
After a routine start has been made, observe the
controller display and be sure it monitors the correct
readings for their particular phase of operation. After
the compressor has warmed up, it is recommended
that a general check on the overall compressor be
made to assure that the compressor is running
properly.
6.3 MAINTENANCE AFTER
INITIAL 50 HOURS OF
OPERATION

maintenance requirements are needed to clean the
