Consult the Engine Owners Manual for the manufacturer's recommendations for any and all engine maintenance.

During maintenance, you could be exposed to compressed air or moving parts. Personal injuries can occur. Before

doing any maintenance or repair, disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting, and relieve air tank pressure. Never operate the com- pressor with the belt guard removed.

To ensure efficient operation and longer life of the air compressor outfit, a rou- tine maintenance schedule should be prepared and followed. The following routine maintenance schedule is geared to an outfit in a normal working envi- ronment operating on a daily basis. If necessary, the schedule should be modi- fied to suit the conditions under which your compressor is used. The modifica- tions will depend upon the hours of operation and the working environment. Compressor units in an extremely dirty and/or hostile environment will require a greater frequency of all maintenance checks.

NOTE: See "Operation"section for the location of controls.

To Check Safety Valve

If the safety valve does not work properly, over-pressuriza- tion may occur, causing air tank rupture or an explosion.

1.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 oper- ate smoothly, it must be replaced with the same type of valve.
