MAINTENANCE & LUBRICATION

Stopping for Maintenance

The following procedures should be followed when stopping the com pressor 

for maintenance or service:

Step 1) 

Per OSHA regulation 1910.147: The Control of Hazardous Energy 

Source (Lockout/Tagout), disconnect and lockout the main power 

source. Display a sign in clear view at the main power switch stat­

ing that the compressor is being serviced. 

Never assume a compressor is safe to work on just because it is not 

operating.  It could restart at any time. 

Step 2) 

Isolate the compressor from the compressed air supply by closing 

a manual shutoff valve upstream and downstream from the com­

pressor. Display a sign in clear view at the shutoff valve stating 

that the compressor is being serviced. 

Step 3) 

Open a pressure relief valve within the pressurized system to al­

low it to be completely de­pressurized. NEVER remove a plug to 

relieve the pressure!

Step 4) 

Open all manual drain valves within the area to be serviced.

Step 5) 

Wait for the unit to cool before starting to service. (Temperatures 

of 125°F can burn skin. Some surface tem pera tures exceed 350°F 

when the compressor is operating.)

Maintenance Schedule

To assure maximum performance and service life of your compres sor, a rou­

tine maintenance schedule should be developed. A sample schedule has been 

included here to help you to develop a mainte nance schedule designed for 

your particular application. Time frames may need to be shortened in harsher 

environments.

At the back of this instruction manual you will find a Maintenance Sched-

ule Checklist. Make copies of this checklist and retain the master to make 

more copies as needed. On a copy of the checklist, enter dates and initials in 

the appropriate spaces. Keep the checklist and this Instruction Manual readily 

available near the compressor. 

Maintenance Schedule Checklist Sample

Every 8 Hours (or Daily)

•Maintain lubricant level between high and low level marks on dipstick. 

Check the lubricant level several minutes after the compressor has 

run. (Discoloration or a higher lubricant level reading may indicate 

the presence of condensed liquids.) If lubricant is contaminated, drain 

and replace.
