Environmental Protection; General Maintenance - Ryobi ERC1512 Owner's Operating Manual

Always wear eye protection during maintenance. If
operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.
Always release all pressure, disconnect from power
supply, and allow unit to cool to the touch before
cleaning or making repairs on the air station.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

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. Any continued loss of air
after performing the above steps indicates a problem with
the safety valve. Discontinue use and seek service before
continued use of the air station. If air leaks after the ring has
been released or if the valve is stuck and cannot be actuated
by the ring, do not use the air station until the safety valve has
been replaced. Use of the air station in this condition could
result in serious personal injury.
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. Electric tools used on fiberglass material,
wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster are subject
to accelerated wear and possible premature failure
because the fiberglass chips and grindings are highly
abrasive to bearings, brushes, commutators, etc.
Consequently, we do not recommend using this product
for extended work on these types of materials. However,
if you do work with any of these materials, it is extremely
important to clean the product using compressed air.
LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this product are lubricated with a
sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of
the unit under normal operating conditions. Therefore, no
further lubrication is required.
