Mantenimiento

El mantenimiento regular garantiza la longevidad y el funcionamiento seguro de su compresor de aire.

Diariamente / después de cada uso

• Drenaje de condensado: After each use, or daily if used frequently, open the drain valve at the bottom of the air tank to release accumulated moisture. This prevents rust and corrosion inside the tank.

Weekly/Monthly

• Inspeccionar el filtro de aire: Check the air filter for dirt and debris. Clean or replace if necessary to ensure proper airflow to the pump.
• Compruebe si hay fugas: Listen for any air leaks around fittings, hoses, and valves. Tighten connections as needed. A soapy water solution can help identify small leaks.
• Inspeccionar mangueras y accesorios: Examine air hoses for cracks, cuts, or wear. Replace damaged hoses immediately. Ensure all quick-connect fittings are functioning correctly.
• Inspeccione el cable de alimentación: Check the power cord for any damage, fraying, or exposed wires.

Anualmente

• Inspección del tanque: Visually inspect the air tank for any signs of external corrosion, dents, or damage. If any damage is found, do not use the compressor and seek professional inspection.
• Comprobación de la válvula de seguridad: Briefly pull the ring on the safety relief valve to ensure it operates freely and reseats properly.

For any maintenance beyond these basic steps, it is recommended to consult a qualified service technician.
