MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
Before performing any maintenance or repair work on the compressor, switch off the
unit, tag and lock out the power supply or disconnect the engine spark plug, and
carefully release all air pressure from the receiver tank, air hoses and/or air piping.
Refer to the separate Owner’s Manual for instructions about the petrol or diesel engine,
if fitted.
Use only genuine spare parts for maintenance and repair of the compressor to ensure
its safe and reliable operation.
The maintenance tasks recommended herein can generally be undertaken by anyone
with proficient mechanical ability and access to proper tools. Alternatively, your Airmac
dealer can carry out this work for a fee.
Maintenance Schedule
The maintenance schedule shown in Table 3 has been developed for typical industrial
applications in clean indoor environments. The service intervals should be shortened in
harsher working conditions. Regular preventative maintenance is essential for the
safety, reliability and performance of the compressor and will add years to its useful life.
