Maintenance
WARNING Maintenance performed by 
unauthorized personnel may result in misplacing of the internal components which could cause serious hazard. We recommend that all compressor service be performed by a BOSCH factory service center or authorized BOSCH service station.
Your air compressor requires periodic maintenance according to the maintenance schedule outlined on the next page, in order to keep your compressor in peak condition.
Use a soapy water solution to inspect compressor for leaks. If leaks are found in the compressor pump, air tanks or tubing, replace compressor immediately. Never attempt repair leaks, weld or make
modifications to the air tank or other fluid confining
parts as there is a risk of bursting.
To check the air filter, unscrew the air filter from the compressor and visually inspect. If the filter appears to be clogged, replace the filter. After inspection screw the air filter back on the compressor (See Fig. 9).
Service
