NOTE:
Compressed air generates condensate which
accumulates in the tank, filter, or other parts. The
condensate contains lubricating oil and/or substances
which may be regulated. Follow the regulations in
your region when disposing of the condensate.

possible bursting of the tank. Tank bursting could
lead to personal injury and property damage.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
Never use the air compressor
which is operating abnormally.
If the air compressor appears to be operating
unusually, making strange noises or vibration,
stop using it immediately and arrange for repairs
by a Makita authorized service center.

ment parts.
Replacement parts not manufactured by Makita
may void your warranty and can lead to malfunc-
tion and result in injuries. Genuine Makita parts
are available from an authorized dealer.

To ensure efficient operation and longer life of the
air compressor unit, a routine maintenance sched-
ule should be prepared and followed. The following
procedure is geared to a unit in a normal working
environment operating on a daily basis. If necessary,
the schedule should be modified to suit the conditions
under which your compressor is used. The modifica
-
tions will depend upon the hours of operation and the
working environment. Compressor units in an extremely
dirty and/or hostile environment will require a greater
frequency of all maintenance checks.
Maintenance routine
1.
Drain water from the air tank, any moisture sepa-
rators or air filter regulators.
2.
Check for any unusual noise and/or vibration.
3.
