Clean filter screen if needed.
• Check for unusual noise and vibration.
• Ensure belt guards and covers are securely in
place.
• Ensure area around compressor is free from
rags, tools, debris, and flammable or explosive
materials.
• Check system oil pressure on pressure lubri-
cated models while compressor is hot.
Weekly:
• Observe operation of safety/relief valves
while the compressor is running. Replace
safety/ relief valves that do not operate freely.
• Inspect air filter element(s). Clean if necessary.
Monthly:
• Inspect for air leaks. Squirt soapy water
around joints during compressor operation
and watch for bubbles.
• Check tightness of screws and bolts. Tighten
as needed.
• Inspect drive belts. Adjust if necessary.
• Clean exterior.

• Replace oil filter and change lubricant (if nec-
essary) on pressure lubricated models.
12 months / 2000 hrs of operation:
• Change synthetic lubricant while crankcase
is warm.
• Replace filter element.
AIR FILTER
ter inside the air filter assembly and clean or
replace the foam filter when necessary.
1. Use an hex key wrench to remove the two
screws holding the air filter cover on.
2. Remove the air filter as-
sembly and take off the
cover and remove the foam
insert (Fig. 8).
3. Wash the foam filter in
clean solvent, squeeze out
the remaining solvent and
allow it to dry completely.
4. Add a few drops of machine oil to the foam
filter and squeeze to distribute.
5. Fit the outer cover into
the air filter foam, and fit
the second half of the cover
enclosing the foam filter
(Fig. 9).
OIL CHANGE
1. Remove the oil drain plug and allow the lu-
bricant to drain into a suitable container.
2. Replace the oil drain plug.
3. Follow the filling procedures in INSTALLA-
TION section.
BELT ADJUSTMENT
CHECKING BELT TENSION. Check belt tension
should be occasionally, especially if looseness
is suspected. New belts must also be properly
tensioned upon installation.
TENSIONING BELTS
Belt tensioning can be achieved by loosening
the motor anchor screws, pushing the motor
away from the pump, and retightening the
motor anchor screws. Some units are equipped
with a belt tensioning bolt that, when turned,
pulls the motor away from the pump.
