SECTION 5: MAINTENANCE
Schedule
For optimum performance from your
machine, follow this maintenance sched-
ule and refer to any specific instructions
given in this section.
Daily
1. Check the oil level! Use the sight glass
on the crankcase to make sure the oil
reservoir is at the correct level.
2. Check for worn or damaged cords and
plugs.
3. Check for any other condition that
could hamper the safe operation of this
machine.
4. When finished using the air compres-
sor, drain the condensation from the
tank as instructed in
Draining Tank
on Page 16, and leave the drain valve
open until the next use.
The air compressor will turn ON
automatically when it is set on AUTO.
When performing maintenance make
sure the AUTO/OFF lever is in the
OFF position, the compressor is
unplugged, and the air pressure has
been bled out of the tank.
Operating this equipment has the
potential to cause eye injury and
hearing loss. Always wear eye and
ear protection when operating an air
compressor. Be certain the safety
protection you wear meet the appro-
priate standards of the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI).
If the compressor is used on a daily basis,
perform the following checks each week.
Weekly
1. Blow dirt and dust off of the air filter
( Figure 9), then re-install.
2. Check for loose bolts or fittings.
3. Clean off all dirt and dust from the cylin-
der head, motor, fan, air lines, exhaust
pipe, couplers and frame. Dirt can lead
to overheating.
