should be followed for the storage as well as for its re-operation:
 Make sure it is stored in a closed, dry, dust-free place.
 Run the compressor at normal pressure for 10-15 minutes.
 Check filters, hose connections and safety valves for leaks.
 Tighten all connections, if necessary.
 Open manual drain valves and run the compressor without pressure for 5 minutes.
 Stop the compressor, drain well and shut all valves.
 Open filters and put special grease used in the food industry or Vaseline on all threads. Filter elements
should normally be in their place.
