To ensure efficient operation and longer life of the air compressor unit, a routine
maintenance schedule should be prepared and followed. The following routine
maintenance schedule 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 modifications 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.
