Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most 

plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of 

commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. 

Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
As a routine part of air compressor maintenance, it is also 

advised that the oil is routinely checked for proper levels.

 

 wARnIng

Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-

based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact 

with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or 

destroy plastic which may result in serious personal 

injury.

Bearing lubrication

All of the bearings in this product are lubricated with a 

sufficient  amount  of  high  grade  lubricant  for  the  life  of
