Hoses
Each month it is recommended that the air cleaner clamps be checked for tightness.
Premature wear of the compressor is ASSURED whenever dust-laden air is permitted to enter
the compressor intake.
The flexible hoses, oil and air lines on these units are primarily used for their ability to
accommodate relative movement between components. It is important they be periodically
inspected for wear and deterioration.
NOTICE
Piping systems operating at less than 200 psi (1050 kPa) may use a
special nylon tubing. The associated fittings are also of a special “push-
in” design. If so, features are as follows:
Pulling on the tubing will cause the inner sleeve to withdraw and compress, thus tightening the
connection. The tubing can be withdrawn only while holding the sleeve against the fitting. The
tubing can be removed and replaced numerous times without losing its sealing ability.
To install the nylon tubing, make a mark (with tape or grease pencil) approximately 7/8 inch
from the end of the tubing. Insert the tubing into the sleeve and “push-in” past the first
resistance to the bottom. The mark should be approximately 1/16 inch from the sleeve, for the
3/8 inch O.D. tubing; 1/8 inch for the 0.25 inch O.D. tubing. This will ensure that the tubing is
fully engaged in the sealing mechanism.
Fasteners
Visually check entire unit in regard to bolts, nuts and screws being properly secured. Spot-
check several capscrews and nuts for proper torque. If any are found loose, a more thorough
inspection must be made. Take corrective action.
Exterior Finish Care
This unit was painted and heat cured at the factory with a high quality, thermoset polyester
powder coating. The following care will ensure the longest possible life from this finish.
1. If necessary to remove dust, pollen, etc. from housing, wash with water and
soap or dish washing liquid detergent. Do not scrub with a rough cloth, pad, etc.
2. If grease removal is needed, a fast evaporating alcohol or chlorinated solvent
can be used. Note: This may cause some dulling of the paint finish.
3. If the paint has faded or chalked, the use of a commercial grade, non-abrasive
car wax may partially restore the color and gloss.
