The frequency of maintenance depends on the usage and operating environment of your air compressor. Consult your compressor's manual for specific recommendations. General guidelines include:

• Oil Change: Every 3-6 months or after a specified number of operating hours (e.g., 200-300 hours).
• Air Filter Replacement: Every 3-6 months, or more frequently in dusty environments, or if visibly dirty.

8. Troubleshooting

This kit addresses routine maintenance. If you encounter operational issues with your air compressor after performing maintenance, consider the following:
