WARNING
1. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
To ensure efficient operation of the compressor
the performance must be checked regularly and
adjustments made to maintain the correct settings.
This section gives the information needed for this
purpose.
A condition of the Warranty cover is for the user to
ensure that routine maintenance and regular
servicing must be carried out as recommended in
the ‘Maintenance Schedule’ and an accurate
record is kept of the work.
All CompAir BroomWade compressors are fitted
with high performance filtration equipment. If the
working environment is particularly dusty the filter
elements and the heat exchangers will require
more frequent attention.
1.1 Cleanliness
The compressor must be kept in a clean condition
at all times. Make regular inspections for signs of
damage, excessive wear and security of fittings.
Ensure that any oil spillage is wiped up
immediately and any residual oil cleaned from
external surfaces.
1.2 Recording Pressures and Temperatures
Keep a regular daily record of the compressor
operating pressure and temperature by noting the
indicator readings, together with ambient air
temperature, in a record book.
The readings should be taken when conditions are
stable and with the compressor running on full
load.
1.3 Maintenance Record
Keep a careful record of all servicing, maintenance
and repair work carried out on the compressor
unit. The record will form a useful reference.
1.4 Electrical Connections
Regularly check for loose connections or frayed
wiring. Clean and tighten all connections and
repair or replace all frayed or damaged wires and
cables before starting up.
Avoid damage to electrical wiring when working on
the compressor and ensure no damage will be
caused by chafing or contact with hot surfaces.
1.5 Leaks
Inspect for leaks, loose pipe connections and dirt
build up prior to carrying out routine maintenance.
Tighten loose connections and repair or replace
damaged pipes or hoses immediately.
WARNING: RISK OF HIGH
PRESSURE
Do NOT use hands to locate leaks in the system.
Always use a piece of paper or card for this
purpose.
1.6 Lubricating Oil
It is essential to maintain the correct level of oil
and to change the oil completely at the specified
intervals. Details are given under ‘Maintenance
Procedures’.
