Shutting Down The Compressor
Maintenance
IMPORTANT! Before carrying out any service work, ALWAYS disconnect the compressor
from the mains supply and release any air in the receiver. If necessary allow the
machine to cool down before proceeding.
It is most important to keep the Air Compressor clean, this can be carried out using a small
soft brush and a vacuum cleaner. In particular the air filter should be inspected periodically,
so that it is always kept clean. If this instruction is not adhered to, a loss of performance
could occur, even worse, any dirt passing through the filter could make its way into the
cylinder head and adversely affect the valves. This could lead to more extensive damage
necessitating its dismantling and replacement parts etc.
BEFORE EACH USE
Drain any condensate which may be present in the receiver, Undo the drain cock and tilt
the machine so that the drain valve is at the lowest point in order to do so.
WEEKLY
1. Unclip the air filter cover, remove the filter and blow away any loose dirt. If damaged or
badly contaminated, it must be replaced.
2. Clean the fins of the compressor cylinder and the cylinder head to receiver pipe. A
clean compressor will work more efficiently.
3. With the machine on a flat level surface, check the oil level, It should be in the centre
of the oil sight glass, at the red spot. If necessary, top up with SAE20 or SAE30 non
detergent oil, by unscrewing the breather and using a small funnel to top up. Ensure
the hole in the breather is completely clear before screwing back in place.
4. Check to ensure all nuts and bolts are tight. Check cylinder head bolts which should
be tightened to 13.6 Nm (10lbf ft).
