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:
