Procedure
Check safety valve
Inspect air filter
Drain air tank
Check for unusual noise/vibration
Check for air leaks
Clean compressor exterior
Remove tank from service
* To check for air leaks apply a solution of soapy water around joints.
While compressor is pumping to pressure and after pressure cuts out,
look for air bubbles to form.
+ Perform more frequent in dusty or humid conditions.

WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Unit cycles automatically
when power is on. When performing 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 ensure efficient operation and longer life of the air compressor
outfit, a routine maintenance schedule should be prepared and fol-
lowed. The following routine maintenance schedule is geared to an
outfit in a normal working environment operating on a daily basis.
If necessary, the schedule should be modified to suit the condi-

tions under which your compressor is used. The modifications 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.
NOTE: See Operation section for the location of controls.
Checking Safety Valve (Fig. 1)
WARNING: Hot surfaces. Risk of burn. Tubes, pump head,
and surrounding parts are very hot, do not touch (see the Hot
Surfaces identified in Fig. 2). Allow compressor to cool prior to
servicing.
WARNING: Risk of bursting. If the safety valve does not work
properly, over-pressurization may occur, causing air tank rupture
or an explosion.
WARNING: Risk from flying objects. Always wear certified
safety equipment: ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3)
with side shields.
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.
Checking Air Filter (Fig. 1)
WARNING: Hot surfaces. Risk of burn. Tubes, pump head,
and surrounding parts are very hot, do not touch (see the Hot
Surfaces identified in Fig. 2). Allow compressor to cool prior to
servicing.
1. Ensure engine ON/OFF switch (B) is in the
OFF position.
2. Allow unit to cool.
3. Remove filter (A).
