WARNING:
To avoid personal injury, always shut off the
gasoline engine and relieve all air pressure from the system
before performing any service on the air compressor.
To ensure efficient operation and longer life of the air compressor
outfit, a routine maintenance schedule should be prepared and fol
-
lowed. The following routine maintenance schedule is geared to an
outfit in a normal working environment operating on a daily basis.
If necessary, the schedule should be modified to suit the condi
-
tions under which your compressor is used. The modifications will
depend upon the hours of operation and the working environment.
Compressor outfits in an extremely dirty and/or hostile environment
will require a greater frequency of all maintenance checks.
NOTE:
See
Operation section for the location of controls.
Checking Safety Valve
(refer to Fig. 1, pg. 2)
WARNING:
Hot surfaces. Risk of burn. Tubes, pump head,
and surrounding parts are very hot, do not touch (see the Hot
Surfaces identified in Fig. 2). Allow compressor to cool prior to
servicing.
WARNING:
Risk of bursting. If the safety valve does not work
properly, over-pressurization may occur, causing air tank rupture
or an explosion.
WARNING:
Risk from flying objects. Always wear certified
safety equipment: ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3)
with side shields.
