MAINTENANCE
To ensure efficient operation and longer life of the air
compressor, prepare and follow a routine maintenance
schedule.The routine described in this section is intended for
an air compressor used under normal daily working
conditions. If necessary, modify the schedule to suit the
conditions under which you use your compressor.
Modifications will depend upon hours of operation and
working environment. Operating air compressors in
extremely dirty or hostile environments will require more
frequent maintenance checks.
NOTE: See FEATURES AND CONTROLS and OPERATION
for control locations.
Follow the hourly or calendar intervals, whichever occurs
first:
