safety
Safety Precautions and Warnings
Listed are some, but not all safety precautions that must be observed
with compressors. Failure to follow any of these warnings may result
in severe personal injury, death, property damage and/or compressor
damage.
• Air from this compressor will cause severe injury or death if used for
breathing or food processing.
• Air used for these processes must meet OSHA 29 CFR 1910 or FDA
21 178.3570 regulations.
• This compressor is designed for use in the compression of normal
atmospheric air only. No other gases, vapors or fumes should be
exposed to the compressor intake, nor processed through the
compressor.
• Disconnect all power supplies to the compressor plus any remote
controllers prior to servicing the unit.
• Relieve all pressure internal to the compressor prior to servicing.
• Do not depend on check valves to hold system pressure.
• A properly sized safety valve must be installed in the discharge piping
ahead (upstream) of any shutoff valve (block valve), heat exchanger,
orifice or any potential blockage point. Failure to install a safety relief
valve could result in rupturing or explosion of some compressor or
safety component.
• Do not change the pressure setting of the safety relief valve, restrict the
function of the safety relief valve, or replace the safety valve with a plug.
• Over pressurization of some system or compressor component can
occur, resulting in severe personal injury, death and property damage.
• Never use plastic pipe, rubber hose, or soldered joints in any part of the
compressors. Failure to ensure system compatibility with compressor
piping is dangerously unsound.
• Never use a flammable or toxic solvent for cleaning the air filter or any
parts.
• Do not attempt to service any part while the compressor is operating.
• Do not operate the compressor at pressures in excess of its rating.
• Do not remove any guards while the compressor is operating.
• Observe gauges daily to ensure compressor is operating properly.
• Follow all maintenance procedures and check all safety devices on
schedule.
• Compressed air is dangerous, do not play with it.
• Use the correct lubricant at all times.

compressor maintenance
Compressor Maintenance
WARNING
To avoid personal injury, always turn drive engine key off and remove
from compressor, relive all air pressure from the system, also
disconnect the battery power connections before starting any service
or maintenance on the compressor.
Daily:
Drain the receiver. Condensation will accumulate in the tank daily, and
should be drained at least once a day. This is done to reduce corrosions
of the tank from the inside. Always wear protective eye wear when
draining the tank.
Check pump oil level. All units have a sight glass the oil level non running
units should be no lower than ½ way on the sight glass if it is lower then
you need to add oil until it is at least ½ way up the sight glass.
Check unit for any unusual noise or vibrations.
Weekly:
Clean air filter to ensure that no dirt or heavy particulate makes its way
into the compressors valve assemblies.
Clean external parts of compressor and electric motor, this helps to
ensure proper cooling and prevents rust and corrosion on critical parts.
Check safety valves to ensure they are not stuck in place and are
operating properly.
Elite units check auto tank drain for proper function.
Monthly:
Inspect complete air system for leaks to make sure the compressor does
not get out of its duty cycle due to air leak in the system.
Inspect oil for contamination to ensure that harmful deposits do not build
up in the oil.
Check belt tension, to ensure the belts do not fail pre-maturely. Tighten
them as needed to ensure they do not slip. If belts are loose, tighten
per instructions on next page. Failure to tighten can cause pre-mature
belt failure.

storage
Every 3 months:
Change oil to ensure that the compressor has proper oil level and that
the oil in the machine does not deteriorate past factory specifications.
Inspect valve assemblies to prevent premature failure and clean out and
carbon that can form in older valves.
*Elite units clean auto tank drain strainer and check for proper function.
Inspect pressure switch for proper function.
Inspect check valve for proper function and remove any carbon
accumulation to prevent premature failure.
*Clean belt guard coolers (if equipped).
Storage of Compressor:
Before storing the compressor for a prolonged period of time, use a blow
gun to clean all debris from compressor. Shut OFF main power and turn
OFF disconnect. Drain tank pressure, clean air filter, drain old oil and
replace with new oil. Cover the unit to prevent dust and moisture from
collecting on the unit.
