Storage of Compressor:

Before storing the compressor for a prolonged period of time, use a blow
gun to clean all debris from compressor. Shut OFF main power and turn
OFF disconnect. Drain tank pressure, clean air filter, drain old oil and
replace with new oil. Cover the unit to prevent dust and moisture from
collecting on the unit.

Safety Procedures

Adherence to safe working procedures are important to Service per-
sonnel at the time of servicing and to those who may, at a later date be
around the compressor and the system it serves. Routine maintenance
insures trouble free operation and protects your investment. All warranties
are void if maintenance is neglected.
Daily
Check the oil level. Oil should be half up, or at the bottom of the threads
on the fill spout.
Drain the tank. Turn off the power to the compressor and drain all the
moisture from the bottom of the tank.
Weekly
Clean the oil. If the oil appears contaminated by moisture or dirt, change
immediately.
Check the belts. Turn off the compressor and inspect the belts for dam-
age, excessive wear, and correct tension. Replace if necessary.
Test the safety valve. Pull the ring on the safety valve. Air should escape
and then reset. In the event the compressor ran over pressure, the safety
valve would reduce the tank pressure to a safe level. Never run the unit
without this safety valve or attempt to adjust it.
General inspection. Check the overall operation of the unit. Tighten any
loosen bolts, inspect for air leaks and inspect for any unusual noises or
vibrations.
Inspect compressor intake. NEVER use gasoline, thinners or other
flammable solutions to clean valves or related parts. Check to be sure
the valves are seated against the sealing surface around each port. If the
valves are not sealing, compressor capacity will be severely reduced.
