MAINTENANCE & LUBRICATION
The following procedures should be followed when stopping the com pressor
for maintenance or service:
Step 1) Per OSHA regulation 1910.147: The Control of Hazardous Energy
Source (Lockout/Tagout), disconnect and lockout the main power
source. Display a sign in clear view at the main power switch stat-
ing that the compressor is being serviced.
Never assume a compressor is safe to work on just because it is not
operating. It could restart at any time.
Step 2)
Isolate the compressor from the compressed air supply by closing
a manual shutoff valve upstream and downstream from the com-
pressor. Display a sign in clear view at the shutoff valve stating
that the compressor is being serviced.
Step 3)
Open a pressure relief valve within the pressurized system to al-
low it to be completely de-pressurized. NEVER remove a plug to
relieve the pressure!
Step 4)
Open all manual drain valves within the area to be serviced.
Step 5) Wait for the unit to cool before starting to service. (Temperatures
of 125°F can burn skin. Some surface temperatures exceed 350°F
when the compressor is operating.)
To assure maximum performance and service life of your compressor, a rou-
tine maintenance schedule should be developed. A sample schedule has been
included here to help you to develop a mainte nance schedule designed for
your particular application. Time frames may need to be shortened in harsher
environments.
At the back of this instruction manual you will find a Maintenance Sched-
ule Checklist. Make copies of this checklist and retain the master to make
more copies as needed. On a copy of the checklist, enter dates and initials in
the appropriate spaces. Keep the checklist and this Instruction Manual readily
available near the compressor.
Every 8 Hours (or Daily)
•Maintain lubricant level between high and low level marks on dipstick.
Check the lubricant level several minutes after the compressor has
run. (Discoloration or a higher lubricant level reading may indicate
the presence of condensed liquids.) If lubricant is contaminated, drain
and replace.
