The entire machine should be checked regularly at
six-months intervals. If it is in heavy duty service or
not running properly it should be taken out of service
more often for inspection.
The strainer at the air inlet should be cleaned fre-
quently to prevent clogging and decreased capacity.

Clean the motor parts and apply a thin layer
of air lubrication oil onto the vanes and inner
surface of cylinder and end plates.
Assemble the motor and check that it is run-
ning free. Add two drops of oil through the
air inlet and run the motor at idling speed for
5-10 seconds.
