CAUTION
To ensure efficient operation and longer life of the air compressor unit, a routine
maintenance schedule should be followed. The following schedule is geared
toward a consumer whose compressor is used in a normal working environment
on a daily basis. If necessary, the schedule should be modified to suit the
condition under which your compressor is used. The modifications will depend
upon the hours of operation and the working environment. Air compressors used
in an extremely dirty and/or hostile environment will require a greater frequency
of all maintenance checks.
WARNING
The air compressor should be turned off and unplugged from the power source
before any maintenance is performed as well as the air bled from the tank and
the unit allowed time to cool. Personal injuries could occur from moving parts,
electrical sources, compressed air or hot surfaces.
Changing Oil
For changing the pump oil, be sure to do the following:
1. Turn the unit off and unplug the power cord from the receptacle.
2. Allow the compressor time to cool if it has been in operation.
3. Open the drain valve to bleed all air from the tank.
4. Close the drain valve.
5. Open the side access panel and remove the oil fill tube on the pump.
6. Remove the sight glass with a box end wrench or socket. Drain the oil into a
suitable container and dispose of properly. The compressor may need to be
tipped slightly toward the drain to allow all of the oil to drain.
7. Reattach the sight glass. Note: Torque the sight glass 10-12 inch lbs. when
reassembling. Be sure the gasket is between the sight glass and the pump
crankcase.
8. Refill the compressor pump with Airpress compressor oil at slow intervals
until the oil reaches the center of the red circle in the sight glass (oil tank
capacity 0,25 litres).
9. Re-insert the oil fill tube on the pump and replace the side access panel.
