MAINTENANCE

WARNING:
shut off the gasoline engine and relieve all air
pressure from the system before performing any
service on the air compressor. Do not use the unit
with the shrouds or belt guard removed. Serious
injury could occur from contact with moving parts.
Regular maintenance will ensure trouble–free operation.
Your gas powered air compressor represents high–quality
engineering and construction; however, even high–quality
machinery requires periodic maintenance. The items listed below
should be inspected on a regular basis.
DRAINING THE TANK
Drain the moisture from the tank (for instructions, see
"Shutdown" in the operating instructions section).
WARNING:
the tank. To prevent corrosion of the tank from the
inside, this moisture must be drained at the end of
every workday. Wear protective eyewear.
NOTE: Tilt unit to drain tanks (see B).
NOTE: In cold climates, drain the tanks after each use to
reduce problems with freezing of water condensation.
Perform the following maintenance at the intervals indicated below.
Inspect air filters (clean or replace as necessary)
Check engine oil level
Change engine oil
Operate the tank safety valve

MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE AIR FILTER
A dirty air filter will reduce the
compressor's performance and
life. To avoid any internal
contamination of the pump, the
filters should be cleaned
frequently, and replaced on a
regular basis. Felt filters should be
cleaned in warm, soapy water,
rinsed, and allowed to air dry
before reinstallation. Paper filters
should be replaced when dirty. Do not allow the filter to become
filled with dirt or paint. If the filter becomes filled with paint, it
should be replaced. Direct exposure to dirty conditions or painting
areas will void your warranty.
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.
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.
NOTE: For gasoline engine storage procedures, refer to the
