to cool.
To ensure efficient operation and lon-
ger life of the air compressor outfit, a
routine maintenance schedule should
be prepared and followed. The fol-
lowing routine maintenance schedule
is geared to an outfit in a normal
working environment operating on a
daily basis. If necessary, the schedule
should be modified to suit the condi-
tions under which your compressor is
used. The modifications will depend
upon the hours of operation and the
working environment. Compressor
outfits in an extremely dirty and/or
hostile environment will require a
greater frequency of all maintenance
checks.
