• Check coupling annually.

Gear

• Check spray bar for excessive contaminants and plugged orifices.
• Check for wear and "backlash."
• Ensure proper lubrication.

V-Belts

• Check v-belt tension.
• Check wear on v-belt/pulley.

Lubricants

Lubricants cool, seal, lubricate and remove contaminants from a compressor.

• Use proper grade (see manual).
• Drain existing lubricant before refilling.
• Draw routine lubricant samples to determine maximum lubricant life.
• Use synthetic lubricant for maximum service life.

Filters

Air

Any contaminants not trapped in the filter will eventually damage machinery and equipment.

• Use proper micron rating as specified by OEM.
• Check pressure differential and, if necessary, carefully clean according to manufacturer's recommendations.
• Check for worn/damaged seals.
• Check structural integrity.
• Replace after filter has been cleaned two or three times.

Lubricant Filter/Lubricant Separator

• Use only genuine replacement parts.
• Change when maximum pressure differential is reached or at each lubricant change, whichever occurs first.

Coolers

• Check for visible contamination and clean regularly.
• Keep clean and dry.
