NOTE:
See "Operation" section for the location of controls.
To ensure efficient operation and longer life of the air compressor outfit, a rou-
tine maintenance schedule should be prepared and followed. The following
routine maintenance schedule is geared to an outfit in a normal working envi-
ronment operating on a daily basis. If necessary, the schedule should be modi-
fied to suit the conditions under which your compressor is used. The modifica-
tions will depend upon the hours of operation and the working environment.
Compressor outfits in an extremely dirty and/or hostile environment will require
a greater frequency of all maintenance checks.
Unit cycles automatically when power is on. When per-
forming maintenance, you may be exposed to voltage
sources, compressed air, or moving parts. Personal injuries can occur.
Before performing any maintenance or repair, disconnect power source
from the compressor and bleed off all air pressure.
To Check Safety Valve
If the safety valve
does not work prop-
erly, over-pressurization may occur,
causing air tank rupture or an
explosion.
Unusual Noise and/or
Vibration
Drive Belt-Condition
Motor Pulley/Flywheel alignment
Air compressor pump intake
and exhaust valves
Inspect air lines and fittings
for leaks

Before starting compressor, pull
the ring on the safety valve to
make sure that the safety valve
operates freely. If the valve is
stuck or does not operate
smoothly, it must be replaced
with the same type of valve.
