11. MAINTENANCE
11.1 BASIC MAINTENANCE AND CHECKS
– FIGS. 7-8
NOTE:
Remove the plug from the socket before carrying
out adjustment, servicing or maintenance.
In order to maintain the compressor, periodical service
checks must be carried out routinely. Allowances should
be made to adjust the time scale for machines in
occasional service with the exception of the safety valve
which must be inspected by a qualified service agent
every 12 months regardless of use.
NOTE:
Where necessary, ear defenders and safety
goggles must be worn.
Daily checks:
– Before every use check the
airline/regulator/seperator.
– After every use adjust the line pressure back to zero.
Monthly checks:
– Remove the foam air filter element
for cleaning
or renew if necessary.
• Rinse the filter with water and soap. Make
certain the element is completely dry prior to
re-fitting.
The cleaning/replacement of the air filter must be
carried out more frequently if the compressor is
operating in a dusty environment.
The motor must be correctly ventilated during
operation. For this reason avoid blocking the air inlets.
After use disconnect the compressor from the power
supply and vacuum the ventilation slots.
If replacement of the supply cord becomes necessary,
this will need to be completed by the manufacturer or
an appointed agent in order to avoid potential safety
hazards.
WARNING:
NEVER ATTEMPT TO RUN THE COMPRESSOR
WITHOUT THE FILTER ELEMENT FITTED AS DUST OR
FOREIGN BODIES CAN ENTER THE PUMP UNIT
RESULTING IN SERIOUS DAMAGE.
