MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION INSTRUCTIONS
maintenance.
In order to maintain efficient operation of the compressor system, check the air filter and oil level before each
use. The ASME safety valve should also be checked daily. Pull ring on safety valve and allow the ring to snap
back to normal position. This valve automatically releases air if the tank pressure exceeds the preset maximum.
If air leaks after the ring has been released, or the valve is stuck and cannot be actuated by the ring, the ASME
safety valve must be replaced.

Compressor Lubrication

See Installation. Add oil as required. The oil should be changed every three months or after every 500 hours of
operation; whichever comes first.

Air Filter

Never run the compressor pump without an intake air filter nor with a clogged intake air filter. Use compressed
air to blow the filter clean. Do not wash or oil the element. If it cannot be blown clean, the filter must be replaced.
Operating compressor with a dirty filter can cause high oil consumption and increase oil contamination in the
discharge air.
Intercooler (Two-Stage Compressors Only)
Weekly, check the intercooler to be sure all fittings are secure and tight. Blow all dirt, dust and other
accumulations from the intercooler fins.
Components
Turn off all power and clean the cylinder head, motor, fan blades, air lines, intercooler and tank on a monthly
basis.
Belts
Check belt tension every 3 months. Adjust belt tension to allow 3/8 inch to 1/2 inch deflection with normal thumb
pressure. Also, align belts using a straight edge against the face of the flywheel and touching the rim on both
sides of the face. The belts should be parallel to this straight edge (see Figure 4). Dimension A should be the
same as B and C to ensure proper alignment of the belts.
Slots in the bed-plate allow for sliding the motor back and forth to adjust belt tension.
Disconnect, tag and lock out power source then release all pressure
from the system before attempting to install, service, relocate or perform any
Intercooler fins are sharp, always wear gloves and use care when
you clean or work near the intercooler.
Lock out and tag the power then release all pressure from the tank to prevent
unexpected movement of the unit.
