CAUTION

Never assume the compressor is ready for maintenance or service

because it is stopped. The automatic stop/start control may start the

compressor at any time!

The following procedure should be followed to maximize safety when

preparing for maintenance or service.
1. Turn compressor drive engine key switch off and remove key from

compressor.

2. Close shut-off valve (block valve) between receiver and compressor, or

receiver and air system, to prevent any back-up of air flow into the area

to be serviced.

3. Disconnect battery connection to compressor drive engine
4. Lock open manual vent valve and wait for the pressure in the area to

be serviced (compressor, receiver, etc.) to be completely relieved

before starting service. The Manual vent valve may be the drain valve in

the receiver. NEVER remove a plug to relieve the pressure.

5. Open all manual drain valves within the area to be serviced.
6. Wait for the unit to cool before starting service, (temperatures at 125

degrees F can burn the skin), some surface temperatures exceed 400

degrees F when the compressor is working).

7. Clean up all oils spills immediately to prevent slipping.
