MAINTENANCE
WARNING.
When servicing use only
identical replacement parts. Use of any
other parts may create a hazard or
cause product damage.
WARNING.
Always wear eye protection
with side shields marked to comply with
ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could result
in objects being thrown into your eyes
resulting in possible serious injury.
WARNING.
Before carrying out any
maintenance, always disconnect the
compressor from the mains supply and, if
necessary, allow the machine to cool
down before starting work.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Cleaning and maintaining the compressor regularly
will give a long and trouble free life.
Before long term storage it is advisable to give the
compressor a thorough clean. This should include
the removal of all fitted accessories. Do not use
any solvents as these can damage plastic parts.
Only use a clean cloth dampened with warm soapy
water. Any metal parts should be given a wipe with
a light machine oil to prevent rusting.
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.
STORAGE
When you have finished using the air
compressor:
•
Set the switch to “OFF’ and unplug the cord.
•
Protect the electrical cord and air hose from
damage.
•
Store the air compressor in a clean and dry
location away from children.
