In order to keep the compressor in good working condition, periodic maintenance is essential.

 

iMPORtaNt! Failure to carry out maintenance tasks may invalidate the warranty on your compressor.

 

WaRNiNg! before performing any maintenance operation, switch off the compressor, disconnect from electricity supply and  

 

release all air from the tank (Except for 5.4a).

5.1.   OPERatiONS tO bE CaRRiEd OUt aFtER thE FiRSt 50 WORKiNg hOURS:

 

a)

 

check that all bolts/nuts are tight, particularly those retaining the crankcase and cylinder head.

 

b)

 

replace the lubricating oil - see para 5.5a. below.

5.2.

 

OPERatiONS tO bE CaRRiEd OUt WEEKlY:

 

 

a)

 

Drain condensation by opening the valve located in the front leg (fig.6). Place a container under the valve and open the valve by  

 

 

turning anti-clockwise. 

 

WaRNiNg!

take care if there is compressed air in the tank, as water could flow out with considerable force. recommended pressure  

 

 

 

1 - 2bar max.

5.3.

  

OPERatiONS tO bE CaRRiEd OUt EvERY 50 hOURS 

 

a)

 

check oil level and if necessary, top up. 

 

b)

 

check for oil leaks.

5.4.

  

OPERatiONS tO bE CaRRiEd OUt EvERY 100 hOURS:

 

 

(or more frequently, if the compressor operates in a very dusty atmosphere):

 

a)

 

turn off the compressor and remove the top cover by removing the four bolts. remove the air filter element (fig.7). using stored  

 

 

air from it's tank, clean the filter with compressed air. (Wear eye protection and 

dO NOt

 direct air towards the body or hands).   

 

 

dO NOt

 operate the compressor without the filter as foreign bodies or dust could seriously damage the pump. replace the filter  

 

 

element. replace top cover.

 

b)

 

check the automatic cut-out at max. pressure and the automatic cut-in at 2bar below.

5.5.

 

OPERatiONS tO bE CaRRiEd OUt EvERY 500 hOURS:

 

a)

 

replace the lubricating oil. for oil specifications see 5.6. remove the top cover 

 

 

(4 bolts) and the side cover (4 bolts). remove the dipstick/breather plug then unscrew

 

 

the oil drain plug (figs.2 & 3), drain the oil into a container. If possible drain when the

 

 

compressor is hot so that oil drains rapidly and completely. replace oil drain plug and

 

 

refill through the dipstick/breather aperture. Do not overfill. replace dipstick/breather.

 

 

b)

 

replace air filter (see 5.4a. for access).  

 

c)

 

check all tube fittings and electrical connections.

 

d)

 

Inspect pressure tank inside and out for damage or corrosion.

 

WaRNiNg! Never mix different oils and do not use non-detergent/low quality oils as the 

 

compressor may be damaged.

 

WaRNiNg! dispose of waste oil only in accordance with local authority requirements.

5.6.

 

RECOMMENdEd OilS

 

synthetic oil suitable for temperatures ranging from -5°c to 45°c, viscosity 5W50. 

 

We do not recommend using mineral oil in these compressors.

 - Air contaminants taken into the compressor will affect optimum performance.

Example:

 Body filler dust or paint over-spray will clog the pump intake filter and may cause internal

damage to pump/motor components. Please note that any parts damaged by any type of 

contamination will not be covered by warranty.
