UNIT CYCLES AUTOMATICALLY WHEN POWER IS ON. WHEN DOING MAINTENANCE, YOU MAY BE EXPOSED TO
VOLTAGE SOURCES, COMPRESSED AIR OR MOVING PARTS. PERSONAL INJURIES CAN OCCUR. BEFORE PERFORM-
ING ANY MAINTENANCE OR REPAIR, DISCONNECT POWER SOURCE FROM THE COMPRESSOR AND BLEED OFF ALL
AIR PRESSURE.
To ensure efficient operation and longer life of the air compressor outfit, a routine maintenance schedule should be prepared
and followed. The following routine maintenance schedule is geared to an outfit in a normal working environment operating on
a daily basis. If necessary, the schedule should be modified to suit the conditions under which your compressor is used. The
modifications will depend upon the hours of operation and the working environment. Compressor outfits in an extremely dirty
and/or hostile environment will require a greater frequency of all maintenance checks.

Keep the air filter clean at all times. Do not operate the compres-
sor with the air filter removed. A dirty air filter will not allow the
compressor to operate at full capacity. Before you use the
compressor, check the air filter to be sure it is clean. If it is dirty,
simply pull it out. You may wash it with a mild detergent and
warm water, or replace it.

Check condition of air compressor pump intake and exhaust
valves. Replace if damaged or worn out.
4.
Remove the pressure release tube and fitting.
5.
Unscrew the check valve (turn counterclockwise) using a
socket wrench.
6.
Check that the valve disc moves freely inside the check
valve and that the spring holds the disc in the upper, closed
position. The check valve may be cleaned with a strong
solvent.
7.
Apply sealant to the check valve threads. Reinstall the check
valve (turn clockwise).
8.
Replace the pressure release tube and fitting.
9.
Replace the outlet tube and tighten top and bottom nuts.
10. Replace the shroud (if removed).
Motor
The motor has an automatic reset thermal overload protector. If
the motor overheats for any reason, the overload protector will
shut off the motor. The motor must be allowed to cool down
before restarting. The compressor will automatically restart after
the motor cools.
If the overload protector shuts the motor off frequently, check
for a possible voltage problem. Low voltage can also be
suspected when:
1. The motor does not get up to full power or speed.
2. Fuses blow out when starting the motor; lights dim and
remain dim when motor is started and/or is running.
