E900H User Manual

6.1 General

A good maintenance program is the key to long compres-
sor life. Below is a program that when adhered to, should
keep the compressor in top operating condition.
Before any repairs are attempted, refer to Sec-
tion 1: Safety before proceeding.
Do not remove caps, plugs and/or other compo-
nents when compressor is running or pressur-
ized. Stop compressor and relieve all internal
pressure before doing so.

6.2 Daily operation

Prior to starting the compressor, it is necessary to per-
form a daily inspection.
Check the fluid level in the compressor receiver tank. Should
the level be low, simply add the necessary amount. If the addi-
tion of fluid becomes too frequent, a simple problem has devel-
oped which is causing this excessive loss. Refer to Table 7-1:
Troubleshooting guide on page 51 under "Excessive fluid
consumption" for a probable cause and remedy.
After a routine start has been made, it is necessary to
perform an inspection to ensure all operations are per-
forming correctly. Perform the following inspections to
prevent unnecessary problems.
• Observe the instrument panel gauges and be
sure they monitor the correct readings for their
particular phase of operation.
• After the compressor has warmed up, it is rec-
ommended that a general check on the overall
compressor and instrument panel be made to
assure that the compressor is running properly.
