Periodic maintenance

A
Caution!
On a new compressor pump, check the
tightening torque of the cylinder head
bolts (see 'Technical Data') after the
first 50 and 250 hours of operation.
ENGLISH
Prior to each use
 Check air hoses for damage, re-
place if necessary.
 Check all screwed connections for
tightness and tighten if necessary.
 Check power supply cable for dam-
age and have replaced by a quali-
fied electrician if necessary.
Every 50 operating hours
Check air filter element (49) of com-

pressor pump, clean if necessary.
Check the oil level in the compressor

pump with the oil dip stick (50) and
refill oil if necessary.(51)
Every 250 operating hours
Replace air intake filter element of

compressor pump.
Every 500 operating hours
Drain oil and fill with fresh oil.

Every 1000 operating hours
 Have unit serviced by an authorized
