Repair works that go beyond the normal maintenance
may only be carried out by a qualified technician or by
the METSYS Technical Customer Service. Use only the
replacement parts permitted by the manufacturer and
the accessories intended for this purpose.
Before any maintenance or repair work is carried out, it
is imperative that the compressor be switched off and
unplugged from the mains supply, and that the air tank
is unpressurised (check the pressure gauge).

Drain off the condensate water:
In compressors with membrane dryer, the condensate is
automatically drained off through the membrane dryer. In
compressors without a membrane dryer, the condensate must be
drained off at least once a week. In countries with high levels of
humidity the condensate must be drained off every day.
Procedure:
q
Check for condensate in the air receiver
q
Switch off the compressor and reduce pressure to 1 bar
q
Place a collection container under the air receiver
q
Open the drain valve until there is no more condensate water
inside the air receiver
q
Close the drain valve again
