MONTHLY MAINTENANCE
Inspect air system for leaks by applying soapy water to all joints.
Tighten those joints if leakage is observed.
Check that all nuts and bolts stay tight.
AFTER 250 HOURS OR SIX (6) MONTHS (whichever comes
first)
CHANGE COMPRESSOR OIL
WARNING!
Before any removing the oil drain plug (oil level sight glass) or the
oil breather cap from your air compressor,
always take the following safety precautions:
1. Disconnect electrical power.
2. Open the petcock to drain air tank of pressure.
1. Remove the oil level sight glass (
V, fig.3
). Use a 24 mm wrench. Allow old oil
to drain completely.
2. Replace the oil drain plug and gasket (we recommend also using a sealing
compound or tape to avoid leakage). Do not over-tighten.
3. Refill with the reservoir with SAE-20 (API CG/CD heavy duty), non-detergent
compressor oil or for extreme winter conditions, use SAE-10 weight
4. The reservoir capacity is approximately 235 ml (8 fl.oz). Fill to the red dot in
the oil level sight glass. Do not over-fill.
Paint spraying operations or dusty environments may require you replace oil
more often.
CAUTION
:
All air line components (including hoses, pipe, connectors, filters, &
regulators, etc.) must be rated for a minimum working pressure of 150 psi
or 150% of the maximum system pressure, whichever is greater.
Disconnect any tools from the air supply before performing maintenance,
clearing a jammed fastener, leaving the work area, moving the tool to
another location, or handing it to another person.
When cleaning air filter, or any parts in direct contact with the air production,
do not use any flammable or toxic cleaner or solvent
During the break in period, nuts and bolts have a tendency to loosen up.
After two weeks, tighten all nuts and bolts including head bolts.
Keep the vents and cooling vanes clear of dust and debris. This will help
prevent possible electrical shorts and ensure proper cooling.
Inspect the cord regularly and have it replaced by an authorized repair
facility if it is damaged.
Check the tanks regularly for dents, cracks and other damage. Do not use if
any part of the pressurized system is damaged.
An authorized repair centre should do any repairs, modification, or
maintenance that involve disassembling the compressor.
