MAINTENANCE

SERVICE INTERVAL

9.  Replace the transfer tube and tighten compression nuts.

10.  Perform the “Break-in of the pump” procedure in the  

Operating Instructions to make sure there are no leaks and  

the check valve is working properly. 

A dirty air filter 

will reduce the 

compressor’s 

performance and life. 

To avoid any internal 

contamination of the 

pump, the filters should 

be cleaned frequently, 

and replaced on a 

regular basis. Felt filters 

should be cleaned in 

warm, soapy water, 

rinsed, and allowed 

to air dry before reinstallation. Paper filters should be replaced 

when dirty. Do not allow the filters to become filled with dirt or 

paint. If the filter becomes filled with paint, it should be replaced. 

Direct exposure to dirty conditions or painting areas will void your 

warranty.

CHECKING THE RELIEF VALVE

Pull the tank safety valve daily to ensure that it is operating 

properly and to clear the valve of any possible obstructions.

TESTING FOR LEAKS

Check that all connections are tight. A small leak in any of 

the hoses, transfer tubes, or pipe connections will substantially 

reduce the performance of your air compressor. If you suspect 

a leak, 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 any 

connections.

STORAGE

Before storing the compressor for a prolonged period, use 

an air blow gun to clean all dust and debris from the compressor. 

Disconnect the power cord and coil it up. Pull the tank safety 

valve to release all pressure from the tank. Drain all moisture from 

the tank. Clean the filter elements and filter housings; replace 

the elements if necessary. Drain the oil from the pump crankcase 

and replace it with new oil. Cover the entire unit to protect it from 

moisture and dust.
