DISMANTLING AND DISPOSAL
There is no requirement for the air compressor to be dismantled during normal
operation other than for major repair/overhaul or prior to final disposal at the end of its
service life.
Dismantling should only be carried out by a mechanically proficient person with access
to proper tools or alternatively by your Airmac dealer for a fee.
Before dismantling the compressor, switch off the unit, disconnect the power supply,
turn off the fuel supply valve, carefully de-pressurize and drain the air receiver tank,
drain out the fuel tank and piping, and drain the lubricating oil from the compressor
pump and engine.
Do not pollute the environment by improper or illegal disposal of the waste oil, fuel and
condensate.
Air receiver tanks should be rendered unusable for pressure service prior to disposal,
for example by cutting or massive deformation. This is to prevent their unauthorized
and unsafe use by others.
Do not pollute the environment by improper or illegal disposal of the compressor either
as a whole or dismantled. Take the unwanted unit or components to your local
recycling centre instead. The compressor is almost entirely made of metal that can
usually be sold to scrap metal recyclers.
