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, drain
the air receiver and, if necessary, allow
the machine to cool down before starting
work.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
The compressor must be drained completely by
opening the drain valve. Drain the air receiver tank
after approx. 2 hours of use.
The air filter can be removed for either cleaning or
replacing. Clean the air filter element after every
100 hours of use or if low pressure is experienced.
Replace the air filter after 200 hours of use. Note:
Under no circumstances should the compressor be
operated with the air filter removed.
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.
•
Be sure to drain the moisture from the air tank.
•
Protect the electrical cord and air hose from
damage.
•
Store the air compressor in a clean and dry
