Maintenance

GENERAL MAINTENACE

All repairs should be performed by an authorized service representative.

WARNING: Disconnect, tag, and lock out the power

source, and then release all pressure from the system

before attempting to install, service, relocate, or perform

any maintenance.

Checking and changing the oil

Maintain the proper oil level by checking the oil sight glass (1)

daily. Change the oil in the pump every 3 months. Use the following

procedure to change (or add) oil.

□ Run the compressor for ten minutes to warm up the oil if the

unit has not been in use for an extended period of time.

□ Turn the compressor off and disconnect the compressor

from the power source.

□ Position a pan under the pump drain plug (2) to catch the oil.

□ Remove the pump drain plug (2) and allow the oil to collect

in the pan.

□ Reinsert the oil drain plug. Remove the breather (3) from the

pump. Pour new, unused oil into the pump. Do not overﬁ ll.

□ Reinsert the breather (3) into position. Return power to the

compressor for use.

Checking the ASME safety valve

□ Run the air compressor until it reaches cut-out pressure.

□ Turn the compressor off and disconnect the compressor

from the power source.

□ Put on safety glasses. Protect yourself from fast moving air.

□ Pull on the ring of the ASME safety valve (1). This

releases pressure from the tank. The safety valve should

automatically close at approximately 40 - 50 psi.

If the safety valve does not allow air to be released when you

pull on the ring, or if it does not close automatically, it MUST be

replaced.

Draining the tank of moisture

□ Turn the compressor off and disconnect it from the power

source.

□ Release the pressure from the compressor by pulling on

the ASME safety valve. The ASME safety valve should close

at approximately 40 - 50 psi.

□ Open the drain valve (1) underneath the tank. Remaining

air pressure will assist in removing moisture from the tank.
