Maintenance of compressor 

To maintain the compressor in perfect condition it is necessary to perform some periodic works on its 
maintenance. 

 

Compressor  maintenance  should  be  carried  out  only  by  professionals  with  the  necessary 
knowledge,  skills  and  experience.  All  works  witch  are  not  described  here  can  also  be  performed 
only by specialist of department of work with clients of the enterprise-manufacturer or of manufac-
turer service center. 

  Before performing any maintenance disconnect the compressor and bleed air from the receiver. 

  Disconnect the compressor from the power supply to avoid unintended inclusion. 

The first maintenance in 50 working hours 

  Check the tightening of all screws on the cylinder head and the bottom frame. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Drain of condensate moisture 

Drain of condensate moisture from the high-pressure receiver  

Condensing moisture (condensate) is collecting on the bottom of the receiver. The volume of condensate 
depends on the load of compressor and on the temperature of environment around compressor. 

  Drain condensate after each use: 

 

In order to be able to drain the condensate, the pressure in the receiver must be 2-3 bar. 

 

ATTANTION!

 

Condensate is a harmful substance. It represents a threat to the environment. 

  Place a suitable container under the drain hole. 

  To immobilize spilled condensate using a binder. 

  To collect immobilized condensate with a rag. 

  To utilize the rag in accordance with applicable legal requirements of the application site. 

To drain condensate, proceed as follows: 

  Place a suitable container under the drain hole. 

  Open the drain hole for condensate drain, slightly turning its plug counter-clockwise on the lower side of 

the high pressure receiver. 

After a successful condensate drain close the plug again.
