Maintenance Schedule

DANGER

Never perform maintenance on the compressor when it is in the “ON” position. Always place

On/Off switch in “OFF” position, disconnect power cord from power source, drain air tanks, and

allow unit to cool first. Performing service procedures on a compressor with pressurized tanks,

or that is in the “ON” position, can result in serious injury.

Interval Maintenance Required

50 Hrs. Drain lubricant from crankcase and replace.

Daily Check lubricant and fill crankcase as needed.

Drain moisture from tanks daily. Open drain slowly and let air pressure bleed

down gradually before opening drain valve completely. Use care when

tipping compressor to drain tanks.

Perform a visual inspection of compressor. Make sure cover is in place, and

all components are in good condition. Check compressor power cord and

plug for damage. Don't use compressor if cord or plug is damaged. Contact

your Grip-Rite dealer for service.

Weekly Check Pressure Relief Valve for proper operation. With tanks pressurized,

pull on Pressure Relief Valve ring. Air must exhaust when ring is pulled.

Release ring - air must stop exhausting when ring is released.

Check for leaks, cracks, or corrosion on tank, fittings, and tubing.

Discontinue use of equipment if leaks or other major problems are found, and

repair unit before placing back into service.

200 Hours Clean or replace air filter element. Change crankcase lubricant.

Yearly Check tanks for cracks, corrosion, leaks, or other damage. Never use a

compressor with a damaged tank. Check warning labels for legibility, and

replace if necessary. Contact your Grip-Rite dealer for replacement labels.
