AIR COMPRESSOR
MAINTENANCE
Draining the Air Tank
The frequency at which you should drain the air tank depends on
the environmental conditions and the amount of operating time
logged.
Your air compressor is equipped with an EZ-1 Auto Drain Valve
that automatically drains the air tank.
1.
Place the drain tube from the auto drain valve into a waste
container capable of holding water.
2.
The Auto Drain Valve will open at the beginning of a cycle to
drain the water out of the air tank.
3.
Empty the waste container of water regularly.
4. Highly recommended to manually drain the air tank
regularly (Daily) from the ball drain valve to remove excess
water.
5.
Draining the air tank protects parts from rust and corrosion.
Changing the Air Filter
The air filters are designed to reduce noise and help prevent
particulates in the air from entering and damaging the air
compressor.
After being used for a period of time, the air filter will become
clogged. This will reduce the air intake capabilities of the air
compressor, reducing performance. Therefore, the air filter must
be replaced regularly.
1.
Open the lid of the air filter and remove the old air filter
element.
2.
Replace with a new air filter element and close the lid.
Testing for Leaks
Make sure all connections are tight. Do not overtighten.
A small leak in any hose or pipe connection will reduce the air
compressor's performance.
To test for small leaks, spray a small amount of soapy water on
the area suspected of leaking. If the soap bubbles, replace the
broken part.
Cleaning
Clean items with a soft brush, or wipe with a moistened cloth
using a biodegradable solvent.
Do not use flammable liquids such as gasoline or alcohol. Always
keep parts clean from dirt and dust for better performance.
AIR DRYER CANISTERS
This air compressor includes a 98% air drying system.
* Aftercoolers (Condensers)
* Air Drying Canisters (2) - Ultra Dry Service Kit
The air drying process is performed when the air flow from the air
compressor is pushed through air dryer canister containing
desiccant material (molecular Sieve). The desiccant captures and
removes the moisture from the air.
After 2 years of use the Canister desiccant needs to be replaced.
Unscrew the old canisters counter-clockwise and discard the old
desiccant canisters (spare part is referred to as the Ultra Dry
Service Kit)
STORAGE
Before storing for a prolonged period of time:
1.
Turn off the power supply.
2.
Disconnect the power cord from the power supply.
3.
Release all of the pressure and moisture from the air tank
through the manual drain valve.
4.
Clean the air compressor to remove all dirt and dust.
5.
Cover the air compressor with a cover to protect the unit from
dust and moisture.
6.
Do not stack or store any items on top of or around the air
compressor. Damage could occur.
