Maintenance
To ensure efficient operation and longer life of the air
compressor, a routine maintenance schedule should be
prepared and followed. The following routine maintenance
schedule is geared to an air compressor in a normal working
environment operating on a daily basis. If necessary, the
schedule should be modified to suit the conditions under which
the air compressor is used. The modifications will depend upon
the hours of operation and the working environment. An air
compressor in an extremely dirty and/or hostile environment will
require a greater frequency of all maintenance checks.
