compressor maintenance
Daily:
Drain the receiver. Condensation will accumulate in the tank daily, and
should be drained at least once a day. This is done to reduce corrosions
of the tank from the inside. Always wear protective eye wear when
draining the tank.
Check pump oil level. All units have a sight glass the oil level non running
units should be no lower than ½ way on the sight glass if it is lower then
you need to add oil until it is at least ½ way up the sight glass.
Check unit for any unusual noise or vibrations.
Weekly:
Clean air filter to ensure that no dirt or heavy particulate makes its way
into the compressors valve assemblies.
Clean external parts of compressor and electric motor, this helps to
ensure proper cooling and prevents rust and corrosion on critical parts.
Check safety valves to ensure they are not stuck in place and are
operating properly.
Elite units check auto tank drain for proper function.
Monthly:
Inspect complete air system for leaks to make sure the compressor does
not get out of its duty cycle due to air leak in the system.
Inspect oil for contamination to ensure that harmful deposits do not build
up in the oil.
Check belt tension, to ensure the belts do not fail pre-maturely. Tighten
them as needed to ensure they do not slip. If belts are loose, tighten
per instructions on next page. Failure to tighten can cause pre-mature
belt failure.
WARNING
To avoid personal injury, always turn drive engine key off and remove
from compressor, relive all air pressure from the system, also
disconnect the battery power connections before starting any service
or maintenance on the compressor.
