Maintenance - General International AC1203 Operating Manual

Cold Weather Starting
Temperatures below freezing (32°F) cause the
metal parts of your Air Compressor to contract and
that makes starting more difficult. To assist the Air
Compressor in starting in cold weather, follow
these tips:
1. Try to keep Air Compressor stored in
temperatures above 32° fahrenheit.
2. Open the Air Tank Drain Valve and release all air
pressure from the Air Tank before attempting to
start in cold weather. (After air is released from
Air Tank, close Drain Valve.)
3. Plug Air Compressor directly into a 120 volt
electrical outlet. Do not use an extension cord
when starting your Air Compressor in cold
weather.

MAINTENANCE

Daily (or before each use)
1. Drain condensation from the air tank.
2. Check for any unusual noise or vibration.
3. Be sure all nuts and bolts are tight.
Monthly
1. Inspect air system for leaks by applying soapy
water to all joints. Tighten these joints if leaks
are discovered.
Always inspect the tool before use, and make sure it
is in good working condition. Make sure all air vents
are clear, (use compressed air to clean the machine
where possible). Check the power cable to make
sure it is intact and free from cracks, bare wires etc.
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts,
most plastics are susceptible to damage from the
various types of commercial solvents.
