PROBLEM
Motor will not start Insufficient pressure
Motor icing (exterior) Very high humidity

MAINTENANCE

Note: Most problems can be prevented by keeping filters clean. Dirty filters decrease pump
performance and diminish pump service life. Inspect filters every 40 hours.
1. Do not lubricate the oilless compressor! The carbon vanes and grease packed motor bearings do not
require lubrication.
2. Replace intake and exhaust filters regularly.
3. Should excessive dirt, foreign particles, moisture, or oil be permitted to enter the pump, the vanes may
stick or crack. Flushing the pump should take care of this condition. Recommended solvent is Part
Number BAC-1001.

CLEANING INTERNAL COMPRESSOR PARTS

If the compressor is permitted to operate with dirty filters or stored for over 14 days, foreign particles and
moisture can accumulate in the pump chamber. To remove these contaminants, the compressor should be flushed
(cleaned) periodically using an approved safety solvent, Air Systems' Part Number BAC-1001. Flushing should
be done in an open well ventilated area.
1. Eye protection should be worn when flushing the unit.
2. To flush the compressor, remove the intake filter assembly and remove the compressor filter element.
3. Install a blank male plug into one of the quick connect couplings to allow free flow of air through the
compressor system.
4. While the compressor is running, spray one or two ounces of safety solvent into the compressor's air
intake port.
5. Flushing should be done in an open area away from sparks and flames. Run the compressor for a minimum
of five minutes before using the compressor with a respirator.
6. Do not use a flammable solvent or a solvent with a toxicity rating of 500ppm or greater to flush the unit.
Do not use a solvent that leaves a petroleum residue.
