Action Daily
(before/after use)
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY,
repairs, any other maintenance or adjustment should
be performed by Makita Authorized or Factory Service
Centers, always using Makita replacement parts.
To ensure efficient operation and longer life of the
air compressor unit, a routine maintenance sched-
ule should be prepared and followed. The following
procedure is geared to a unit in a normal working
environment operating on a daily basis. If necessary,
the schedule should be modified 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.
Maintenance routine
1. Drain water from the air tank, any moisture sepa-
rators or air filter regulators.
2. Check for any unusual noise and/or vibration.
3.
Inspect air filter, replace if necessary.
4.
Inspect air lines and fittings for leaks and correct
as necessary. Each year of operation or if a problem is
suspected, check condition of check valve. Replace if
damaged or worn out.
5. Keep all screws, bolts, and covers tightly
mounted. Check their conditions periodically.
WARNING:
properly tightened. If screws plates or covers
become loose personal injury or property damage
may occur.
