What steps should you take to properly maintain the air compressor?

What will be an ideal response?


1. When outside air is condensed by the compressor into the receiver tank, water is produced. To drain water that accumulates in the tank, periodic bleeding, or blow-down, is required.
2. The compressor oil level should be checked regularly, especially if oil leakage is noted. Compressor oil should be changed every 3 months.
3. It is important for a compressor to breathe clean air. The air filter must be serviced regularly. A restricted air filter will overheat the compressor.
4. Check the drive belts regularly for signs of wear or looseness. A loose belt will slip, causing wear to the pulley.
