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)
Per OSHA regulation 1910.147 isolate and lockout the compressor
from the compressed air supply by closing a manual shutoff valve.
Display a sign in clear view at the shutoff valve stating that the
compressor is being serviced.
Step 3)
Open a pressure relief valve to allow the system to be com pletely
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 tem peratures exceed 350°F
when the compressor is operating.)
To assure maximum performance and service life of your compres sor, 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.
Maintenance Schedule Checklist Sample
Every 8 Hours (or Daily)
•QT-5, QT-7.5 & QT-10 lubricant levels should be kept at the top of
the sight glass (add lubricant until it reaches the bottom edge of the
lubricant fill opening).
•Maintain lubricant levels of all other models 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.
