Every 40 Hours of Operation:

Inspect condition of drive belt; replace if necessary. (for Belt Driven model only)

Every 100 Hours of Operation:

Drain and refill compressor crankcase with clean compressor oil.

Increase frequency of oil changes if humidity or operating conditions are extreme.

Every 160 Hours of Operation:

Check drive belt tension; adjust if necessary. (for Belt Driven model only)

Inspect air lines and fittings for leaks; correct as necessary.

Check the alignment of the motor pulley to the flywheel. If necessary, align to within 1/32 inch on

center line. (for Belt Driven model only)

Check condition of air compressor pump intake and exhaust valves. Replace if damaged or worn out.

SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS

To Check Safety Valve

WARNING: If the safety valve does not work properly, over-pressurization may occur, causing

air tank rupture or an explosion.

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 operate smoothly, it must be replaced with the same

type of valve.

Air Filter - Inspection and Replacement

NOTE: Keep the air filter clean at all times. Do not operate the air compressor with the air filter

removed.

A dirty air filter will not allow the air compressor to operate at full capacity. Before you use the air

compressor, check the air filter to be sure it is clean. If it is dirty, replace it with a new filter.

Oil - Checking and Changing

NOTE: Use an oil specifically formulated for use in an air compressor. Oil may be found at the store

where the air compressor was purchased.

WARNING: Overfilling with oil will cause premature air compressor pump failure. Do not

overfill.

Check oil level in air compressor crankcase before each use. The oil level should be even with

the top of the fill hole and must not be allowed to be lower than 3/8" from the top at any time.

See Routine Maintenance Schedule for oil change scheduling.

Note: It is important to maintain the proper oil level. A low oil level reduces proper cylinder wall

lubrication and increases ring wear.

Start the air compressor unit and run for several minutes. Shut the air compressor down and

check the oil level. If necessary, add more oil.

To Drain Tank

NOTE: Operation of the air compressor will cause condensation to build up in the air tank. Always

drain tank on a washable surface or in a suitable container to prevent damaging or staining surfaces.

Set the On/Off lever to "Off".

Pull the regulator knob out and turn counterclockwise to set the outlet pressure to zero.

Remove the air tool or accessory.
