9. MAINTAINING THE DSP
●
Before you service the
DSP
, carefully read pages 2 through 5, Chapter 1 “SAFETY.”
●
Before you service the
DSP
, disconnect the power; otherwise you may receive an electric shock.
●
Before you remove or disassemble a bolt, pipe, or any other part of the
DSP
, stop it, disconnect the
power, and make sure that the internal pressure has dropped to an atmospheric pressure. Otherwise
the compressed air may gush out of the
DSP
.
Overhauling consists changing the existing air end
with a new replacement air end.
Overhaul the
DSP
at 6 yearly.
9.1 Air Compressor Maintenance
①
The
DSP
standard maintenance schedules are listed
in pages 71 through 74. Periodic maintenance inter-
vals in these schedules mean daily, monthly, halfyear-
ly, yearly, two-yearly, 4-yearly, and 6-yearly.
They are based on the normal environmental and
operating conditions. If your
DSP
is in sever environ-
mental and operating conditions, service it at more
frequent intervals.
Standard maintenance schedule (A) is based on the
8,000 operating hours per year while (B) 4,000 hours.
Select either (A) or (B) according to your own operat-
ing hours per year. If your
DSP
is in sever (high-
humid, dusty, etc.) conditions, however, always select
(A) regardless of your operating hours.
②
Any of the maintenance intervals is not a warranty
period.
③
If the part you inspected is abnormal, faulty, or dam-
aged, replace it.
④
Do not neglect a yearly maintenance schedule as it is
most important from a preventive maintenance stand-
point.
⑤
Use HITACHI genuine parts for replacement.
(1) Daily fill the
OPERATION RECORD LOGBOOK
(
p. 88 - 89) and check the operating data and
conditions.
If the data deviates from the benchmark in the
logbook, service the
DSP
.
(2) Regularly drain the condensate and observe the other
daily operating instructions; see pages 6 through 7.
