be exposed to voltage sources,
compressed air, or moving parts.
Before servicing unit unplug or
disconnect electrical supply to
the air compressor, bleed tank
of pressure, and allow the air
compressor to cool.
To ensure efficient operation and
longer life of the air compressor,
a routine maintenance schedule
should be prepared and followed.
The following 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. Compressors
in an extremely dirty and/or hostile
environment will require a greater
frequency of all maintenance checks.
