Maintenance 

3.1 

Maintenance Schedule 

 

WARNING  

Do not perform any maintenance until the unit is cooled down. 

Following are general guidelines for maintenance checks of the air 
compressor. 

Weekly: 

Check for oil leaks, abnormal noise or vibration. 

Monthly: 

Check oil level. 

Drain the condensate that has collected in the air tank. It may be necessary to 
do more often when operated in high humidity.

 

Drain the water collected in the air outlet filter. 

Clean the compressor using a soft cloth. Wipe off any oil or dirt.  

Check compressor efficiency (make sure all nuts and bolts are tight, check for 
air leaks, pressure hose wear, pipe fittings and electrical connections). 

Every 3 months: 

Check the air intake filter. Replace if necessary. 

Annually: 

Replace oil. 

Check pressure relief valve function. 

 

CAUTION  

The environment in which the compressor is used, and the 
frequency of use can affect how often you need to perform the 
above maintenances. For example, under high humidity 
condition, drain condensate weekly or daily to prevent damage 
to the unit.
