MAINTENANCE
WARNING: When servicing, use only identical
replacement parts. Use of any other parts may
create a hazard or cause product damage.
WARNING: Always wear safety goggles or safety
glasses with side shields during compressor
operation or when blowing dust. If operation is
dusty, also wear a dust mask.
WARNING: Always release all pressure,
disconnect from power supply, and allow unit
to cool to the touch before cleaning or making
repairs on the air compressor.
General Maintenance
Humidity in the air causes condensation to form in the air
tank. This condensation should be drained daily and/or every
hour, using the instructions found in Draining the Tank.
The safety valve automatically releases air if the air receiver
pressure exceeds the preset maximum. Check the safety
valve before each use following the instructions found in
Checking the Safety Valve.
Inspect the tank yearly for rust, pin holes, or other
imperfections that could cause it to become unsafe.
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING: Do not at any time let brake
fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products,
penetrating oils, etc., come in contact with
plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken
or destroy plastic which may result in serious
personal injury.
Lubrication
All the bearings in this compressor are lubricated with a
sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the
unit under normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further
