MAINTENANCE

SERVICE INTERVAL

CLEANING THE AIR FILTER

A dirty air filter will reduce the compressor’s

performance and life. To avoid any internal

contamination of the pump, the filter should be

cleaned frequently, and replaced on a regular

basis. Felt filters should be cleaned in warm,

soapy water, rinsed, and allowed to air dry before

reinstallation. Paper filters should be replaced

when dirty. Do not allow the filter to become filled

with dirt or paint. If the filter becomes filled with

paint, it should be replaced. Direct exposure to

dirty conditions or painting areas will void your

warranty.

CHECKING THE RELIEF VALVE

Pull the relief valve daily to ensure that it is operating properly and to clear the

valve of any possible obstructions.

TESTING FOR LEAKS

Check that all connections are tight. A small leak in any of the hoses, transfer

tubes, or pipe connections will substantially reduce the performance of your air

compressor. If you suspect a leak, spray a small amount of soapy water around

the area of the suspected leak with a spray bottle. If bubbles appear, repair or

replace the faulty component. Do not overtighten any connections.

STORAGE

Before storing the compressor for a prolonged period, use an air blow gun to

clean all dust and debris from the compressor. Disconnect the power cord and

coil it up. Pull the pressure relief valve to release all pressure from the tank. Drain

all moisture from the tank. Clean the filter element and filter housing; replace the

element if necessary. Drain the oil from the pump crankcase and replace it with

new oil. Cover the entire unit to protect it from moisture and dust.
