ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

IMPORTANT: Before carrying out any of this service work, always disconnect the

machine from the mains supply, drain the air receiver and, if necessary, allow the

machine to cool down before starting work.

Daily

Before use, always open the drain valve to ensure that any condensate, which

may have accumulated, is drained off.

Monthly

It is important to keep the Compressor clean, with the help of a small soft brush

and vacuum cleaner. In particular, the air intake filter should be inspected at least

MONTHLY, and more often in dusty conditions, so that it is always kept free of any

dirt particles, which if not cleaned away will

affect the performance of the machine.

To clean the air intake filter, first remove the

cover which has a bayonet fitting - turn the

cover anticlockwise and pull off, then carefully

prise out the paper element with its holder -

shown in fig.2. Clean the complete filter housing

using a cloth or brush.

If the filter is clogged or badly blackened, it should

be replaced. It is not possible to wash the filter
