Air Compressor Moisture Trap Maintenance

Maintaining the air compressor is an essential task that should not be neglected. In order to ensure that the air
compressor operates eectively, adhere to all of the following procedures for the air compressor to operate at full
capacity and with minimal problems.

Air Compressor Bleed Valve

Moisture Trap

Coalescing Cartridge

Oil Level

16 Amico Beds

Moisture Trap Bleed Valve

Air Compressor Maintenance Checklist Monthly Yearly 3 months 6 months

Drain the water collected in the moisture trap: (the

1

operations are to be done with the tank under pressure).

Remove the condensate that has collected in the air compressor tan k.
To empty the tank, put it under pressure, take the compressor

2

to a place where the water will not damage the oor, tip the
compressor slightly forward and open the moisture trap
bleed valve.

Check the compressor eciency: possible connectors

3

slackening, pressure hose wear, screws tightening electric
circuit eciency, etc.

Clean the compressor with a soft cloth. Dust and dirt prevent

4

the compressor from cooling.

5 Oil level check

Check the air compressor bleed valve by pulling the ring

6

gently when there is pressure in the tank.

7 Check the moisture trap. Replace it if its necessary.

Disassemble the coalescing cartridge contained in the moisture

8

trap. This operation must be done with the tank completely
out of pressure.

ATTENTION: Maintenance of the compressor per the checklist is mandatory. Failure to do so will result in undue
wear and eventual malfunction, which in turn voids warranty.
