MAINTENANCE
SERVICE INTERVAL
CLEANING THE AIR FILTERS
WARNING:
Hot surfaces. Risk of burn. Tubes,
pump head, and surrounding parts are very hot, do not
touch. Allow compressor to cool prior to servicing.
A dirty air filter will not allow the
compressor to operate at full
capacity. Keep the air filter clean
at all times.
1. Ensure Auto/Off switch is in
the OFF Position.
2. Allow unit to cool.
3. Remove the 3 phillips screws
from the pump head.
4. Remove the small plate, being
careful not to drop anything
on the exposed valves.
5. Carefully lift out the air fil-
ter and screens. NOTE: The
screen edges are sharp.
6. Place cleaned or new air filter
between the screens and insert back into grooves.
7. Place the plate back onto the pump head, insert the screws,
tighten the screws.
CAUTION:
Risk of unsafe operation. Do not operate
without air filter.
CHECKING THE RELIEF VALVE
Pull the tank safety valve daily to ensure that it is operating
properly and to clear the valve of any possible obstructions.
TESTING FOR LEAKS
Check that all connections are tight. A small leak in any of
the hoses, transfer tubes, or pipe connections will substantially
reduce the performance of your air compressor. If you suspect
a leak, spray a small amount of soapy water around the area
of the suspected leak with a spray bottle. If bubbles appear,
repair or replace the faulty component. Do not over tighten any
connections.
STORAGE
Before storing the compressor for a prolonged period, use
an air blow gun to clean all dust and debris from the compressor.
Disconnect the power cord and coil it up. Pull the tank safety
valve to release all pressure from the tank. Drain all moisture from
the tank. Clean the filter elements and filter housings; replace
the elements if necessary. Drain the oil from the pump crankcase
and replace it with new oil. Cover the entire unit to protect it from
moisture and dust.
