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.
CLEAN THE AIR FILTER (MONTHLY)
The air filter must be examined monthly, more often
in dusty conditions.
Remove the securing bolt and pull the filter from
the compressor, Fig.16.
Unclip the front and rear of the filter and pull out the
filter element, Fig.17.
Clean the filter using a soft brush.
If necessary, the filter can be carefully cleaned in
warm soapy water.
Rinse and let the filter dry completely before
refitting.
If the filter or filter element is damaged, you must
replace it.
Reassemble the filter and refit it to the compressor
using the securing bolt.
CHECK THE NON-RETURN VALVE
(EVERY 6 MONTHS)
If the reservoir pressure decreases for no apparent
reason, it is possible that the non-return valve is
leaking. To check this:
Make sure that the reservoir is not under pressure
and the compressor is switched OFF.
Examine the non-return valve, and replace the
gasket and valve if necessary, Fig.18.
