Preventive maintenance
Daily
- Check fluid level in sight glass at running temp
- Listen for unusual noise / vibration
- Check discharge pressure & temperature vs baseline
- Verify condensate drain function
- Log package amps if metered
Weekly
- Blow down receiver and drain traps
- Check for oil carryover at first drop leg
- Inspect for fluid or air leaks around airend and separator tank
- Verify safety valve is not weeping
Every 2,000 hr / 6 mo
- Change fluid filter
- Change air filter (or sooner per ΔP)
- Sample fluid for TAN / metals / water
- Clean cooler exterior with low-pressure air (never > 30 psi against fins)
Every 4,000 hr / 12 mo
- Change separator element
- Change fluid
- Inspect scavenge line & orifice for coking
- Check coupling / belt alignment & wear
- Torque electrical lugs to spec (typ. 45–75 in-lb #4–2/0 AWG)
Every 8,000 hr
- Rebuild inlet valve
- Rebuild minimum-pressure check valve
- Regrease or replace motor bearings per OEM interval
- Verify safety valve setpoint against gauge
