MAINTENANCE
OVERVIEW
Aeras compressor preventive maintenance is simple, clean and inexpensive. It can help ensure your system provides
years of predictable performance. While most maintenance tasks can be performed by the user, Ramvac recommends
having all service and maintenance conducted by a dealer service technician.
This compressor system, when correctly specified for a dental office, should accumulate around 700 hours per year, or
run at approximately a 50% duty cycle (3 minutes on, 3 minutes off). Service and maintenance intervals are calculated
accordingly, but could vary greatly depending on the installation. It is important to occasionally inspect the compressor
for emerging issues or maintenance requirements that may not conform to the average.
NOTE:
When servicing this compressor, only use Ramvac approved service parts. Utilizing non-approved components
could lead to system damage and possible termination of product warranty. Circuit diagrams, parts lists and other required
information is available to service personnel by contacting Ramvac.
