6.1.
After the first 50 working hours replace the lubricating oil - see para 6.4.
6.2.
OPERATIONS TO BE CARRIED OUT DAILY:
a) Drain condensation, place a container under the valve and open the valve by turning anti-clockwise (fig.1). Retighten the valve.
b) Check that all nuts and bolts are tight, particularly those retaining the crankcase and cylinder head.
6.3.
OPERATIONS TO BE CARRIED OUT EVERY 100 HOURS: (or more frequently, if the compressor operates in a very dusty atmosphere):
a) Check oil level and, if necessary, top it up.
b) Remove the air filter element by unscrewing the filter holder (fig.4) and prising open the holder. Clean it by blowing through with an air
line at low pressure, from the clean side. Alternatively, wash it in soapy water, rinse and dry. DO NOT operate the compressor without the
filter as foreign bodies or dust could seriously damage the pump.
c) Check for oil leaks.
6.4.
OPERATIONS TO BE CARRIED OUT EVERY 200 HOURS:
a) Replace the lubricating oil. Remove the oil filler/breather and unscrew the drain bolt (fig.3), drain the oil into a suitable container.
Drain when the compressor is hot so that the oil drains rapidly and completely. Incline the compressor to ensure complete drainage.
Replace the drain bolt and refill with fresh oil through the filler aperture. DO NOT overfill. Replace oil filler/breather (fig.3).
RECOMMENDED OIL:
Suitable for room temperatures ranging from +5ºC to +25ºC:SEALEY CPO or equivalent SAE 40 compressor oil.
Room temperature below +5ºC: SAE 20 compressor oil.
WARNING! Never mix different oils and do not use non-detergent/low quality oils as the compressor may be damaged. Dispose of waste
‰
oil only in accordance with local authority requirements.
b) Check the automatic cut-out at maximum pressure and the automatic cut-in at 2 bar below that.
6.5.
OPERATIONS TO BE CARRIED OUT EVERY 500 HOURS:
a) Replace air filter.
b) Check all tube fittings and electrical connections.
IMPORTANT! Failure to carry out maintenance tasks may invalidate the warranty on your compressor.
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.

INSPECTION OF PRESSURE TANK BOTH INSIDE AND OUT
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.
