Inspect Pump Intake and Exhaust
Valves
Once each year, certain internal compressor components
must be inspected. Have a trained service technician perform
this check, to include the air compressor pump intake and
exhaust valves.

to the air compressor. All safety labels should be present and
readable. If any safety label is missing or illegible, obtain a
replacement from an authorized service center or call the air
