INITIAL START-UP PROCEDURE:
Open the air receiver service valve to permit air to escape, preventing air pressure build-up in the air receiver.
Plug power supply cord into correct power source.
Close air receiver service valve. Your compressor is now ready for operations.
Run the compressor for a minimum of twenty (20) minutes in this no-load position to lubricate the bearings and
pistons.
MAINTENANCE
Before doing any maintenance or adjustments to your air compressor please ensure you have discon-
nected electrical power and drained the tank of pressure.
1.
DAILY OR BEFORE EACH USE:
Check oil level.
Drain condensation from tank.
Check for any unusual noise or vibration.
Be sure all nuts and bolts are tight.
2.
WEEKLY:
Clean air filter by opening air filter cap, remov-
ing the filter element and cleaning it thoroughly
with soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and
allow to dry completely before assembly. Old fil
ter should be replaced.
Clean breather hole on oil check dipstick.
3.
MONTHLY:
Adjust belt tension if needed and replace belt
if worn.
Inspect air system for leaks by applying soap
to all joints. Tighten those joints if leakages are
observed.
4.
250 HOURS OR SIX (06) MONTHS (Which
ever comes first):
Change compressor oil.
Replace often if compressor is used near paint
spraying operations or in dusty environment.
COMPRESSOR LUBRICATION:
Note:
Do not add or change oil while the compressor is
in operation. Use only the recommended
SAE 20 or 30
weight non-detergent
oil.
COMPRESSORS WITH OIL LEVEL GAUGE:
1. Turn the oil filling plug counter clockwise, pull it out.
2. The compressor is full when the oil level is between
the marks “H” and “L”. Replace oil filling plug.
3. Always maintain oil level between the mark “H” and
“L” in the oil glass.
DRAINING THE OIL:
1. Remove the oil drain plug and allow the oil to drain
completely.
2. Replace the oil drain plug. (we recommend use of a
sealing compound or Tefflon tape to avoid leakage).
3. Refill with the recommended oil, to proper level.
CHECKLIST
CHECKLIST
During the breaking-in period, nuts and bolts have a tendency
to loose up.After two weeks tighten all nuts and bolts including head
bolts. Then check everything once a month to make sure all nuts and
bolts stay tight.
