MAINTENANCE

In order to keep the compressor in good working condition, periodic maintenance is essential.
IMPORTANT! Failure to carry out maintenance tasks may invalidate the warranty on your compressor.
WARNING! Before performing any maintenance operation, switch off the compressor, disconnect from electricity supply and
release all air from the tank (except for 6.3.a)
6.1.
Operations to be carried out after the first 50 working hours:
a)
Check that all bolts/nuts are tight, particularly those retaining the crankcase and cylinder head.
b)
replace the lubricating oil - see para 6.5.
6.2.
Operations to be carried out weekly:
a)
Drain condensation by opening the valve located under the tank (fig.9). Place a container under the valve and open the valve by turning
anticlockwise.
WARNING! Take care if there is still pressure inside the cylinder as water could flow out with considerable force. recommended pressure
1 - 2bar max.
b)
Check oil level and, if necessary, top up.
6.3.
Operations to be carried out every 50 hours (or more frequently, if the compressor operates in a very dusty atmosphere):
a)
remove the air filter element (fig.8). using stored air from the compressor's tank, clean the filter with compressed air. (Wear eye
protection and DO NOT direct air towards the body or hands). DO NOT operate the compressor without the filter as foreign bodies or
dust could seriously damage the pump. replace the filter element and air filter housing.
b)
Check for oil leaks.
6.4.
Operations to be carried out every 100 hours:
a)
Check the automatic cut-out at max. pressure and the automatic cut-in at 2bar below.
6.5.
Operations to be carried out every 400 hours:
a)
replace the lubricating oil. For oil specifications see 6.7.
remove the filler/breather plug (see fig.4) then remove oil drain plug, draining the oil into a container. Drain when the compressor is hot
so that the oil drains rapidly and completely. Incline compressor to ensure complete drainage. replace oil drain plug and refill through
the filler/breather aperture. DO NOT overfill. replace the plug.
WARNING! Never mix different oils and do not use non detergent/low quality oils as the compressor may be damaged.
WARNING! Dispose of waste oil only in accordance with local authority requirements.
b)
replace air filter. (See fig.8)
c)
Check all tube fittings and electrical connections.
d)
Inspect pressure tank inside and out for damage or corrosion.

IMPORTANT WARNING - Air contaminants taken into the compressor will affect optimum performance. Example: Body filler dust or paint
overspray will clog the pump intake filter and may cause internal damage to pump/motor components. Please note that any parts damaged by
any type of contamination will not be covered by the warranty.
6.9.
Inspection of pressure tank both internal and external is essential. under the PRESSURE SYSTEMS SAFETY REGULATIONS 2000 it is the
responsibility of the owner of the compressor to initiate a system of inspection that both defines the frequency of the inspection and appoints a
person who has specific responsibility for carrying out the inspection.
6.10. DO NOT carry out any welding operations on any pressurised parts of the vessel.
