power is on. When performing
maintenance, you may be exposed
to voltage sources, compressed air,
or moving parts. Personal injuries
can occur. Before performing any
maintenance or repair, disconnect
power source from the compressor
and bleed off all air pressure.
To ensure efficient operation and
longer life of the air compressor unit,
a routine maintenance schedule
should be prepared and followed.
The above routine maintenance
schedule is geared to an unit in a
normal working environment
operating on a daily basis. If
necessary, the schedule should be
modified to suit the conditions under
which your compressor is used. The
modifications will depend upon the
hours of operation and the working
environment. Compressor units in an
extremely dirty and/or hostile
environment will require a greater
frequency of all maintenance checks.
NOTE: See Operation section for the
location of controls.
