Compressor Maintenance:
Pressure and Speed
- Never operate the compressor at pressures or
speeds in excess of those recommended by the compressor manufacturer.
Every compressor assembly must have a safety valve installed and should
be set at either the maximum tank working pressure or 25 psi over the
actual pressure of the
pump
, whichever is less.
Daily
- Check for unusual noise, failure to compress, overheating, oil
leaks, and vibration. Correct before serious damage can develop. Drain
all condensate from receiver and traps.
Weekly
- Examine intake filter elements and if dirty, remove and clean
or replace. Check oil level and add if necessary. Do not fill over
level mark on sight glass. Keep compressor clean for efficient operation
and appearance.
Monthly
- Check and tighten all bolts and nuts are required. Check air
connections for air leaks and tighten as required. Check belt tension.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE:
Periodically inspect all hoses and connections for damage. Make sure that the
hoses are not split or cracked and listen for leaks in the system.
Soapy water can be sprayed (squirt bo le) on to the control to locate leaks. Dish
detergent in water will not damage the controls. A harsh, concentrated cleaner
could possibly a ach to some portions of the controls.
