To ensure efficient operation and longer life of the air compressor outfit, a rou-
tine maintenance schedule should be prepared and followed. The following
routine maintenance schedule is geared to an outfit in a normal working envi-
ronment operating on a daily basis. If necessary, the schedule should be modi-
fied to suit the conditions under which your compressor is used. The modifica-
tions will depend upon the hours of operation and the working environment.
Compressor units 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.
To Check Safety Valve
If the safety valve does not work properly, over-pressuriza-
tion may occur, causing air tank rupture or an explosion.
1. 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 oper-
ate smoothly, it must be replaced with the same type of valve.
