Maintenance and Inspection
Manual for CompAir Compressors

This Maintenance and Inspection


Manual is intended only as a supplement
to the operating instructions and parts list
for your CompAir compressor.
It does not replace these technical
documents.
This Maintenance and Inspection
Manual is intended for you, the machine
attendant. It is provided to facilitate the
required maintenance and inspection work
and allow this work to be reviewed at any
time. When this Maintenance and
Inspection Manual is kept carefully it can
contribute to reduction of the maintenance
costs and increasing the operating
reliability and service life of your
compressor.

Attention
When starting up your compressor for
the first time, observe the operating
instructions under all circumstances.
Proper operation, care and continuous
supervision of the compressor system are
decisive for the operating reliability,
performance and service life.
We cannot assume any liability for
damage resulting from failure to observe
the operating instructions, improper
repairs or use of other than genuine parts.

Questions/Parts orders
Always indicate:
- Machine number (rating plate)
- Machine model.

We request you to present this


Maintenance and Inspection Manual to our
service personnel on request.
Thank you.

Danger

Please observe the maintenance


instructions (service intervals and
points) given in the operating
instructions.
Perform inspection, maintenance and
repair work only when the machine is
standing still, not under voltage and
not under pressure.
Operation of the system without
protective equipment (e.g. fan safety
grills) is not permitted.
