2.0 Routine Maintenance

Impact damage and premature bearing failure may occur
in the compressor bearings if the system is not operated
on a regular basis due to vibration caused by engine
operation. Operate the system at least every 30 days for
15 minutes at no load to ensure bearing lubrication and
rotation.
Maintenance is a planned program, which provides an orderly series
of service and inspection procedures, together with cleaning. A well
planned maintenance program lowers maintenance costs, reduces
down time and can prevent possible accidents due to failed
components.
Shut down the Welder/ Compressor for 5 minutes. After 5
minutes open the pressure supply valve to ensure the
system is fully depressurized.
