Maintenance. Aseptico AA-98

MAINTENANCE:

AIR STORAGE TANK - To avoid the risk of moisture in the air lines or tank failure, drain the tank after each use or every four hours of operation. This will prevent condensation build-up and corrosion inside the tanks. To drain the tank, allow the compressor to fully pressurize and then turn the power switch to the off (O) position. Remove the power cord from the receptacle on the end of the compressor case.

Locate the drain fitting on the underside of the compressor Carefully and quickly turn open the drain fitting. Return the unit to its normal position and allow water to drain out with the escaping air.

AIR FILTER - A dirty air filter will not allow the air compressor to operate at full efficiency. If a decrease in the supply air is noticed, it may be necessary to replace the filter element. The air filter is located inside the case along the side of the pressure switch. To replace the filter, disconnect the hoses and unscrew the brass cylinder at its mid-section. Remove filter disc and install a new one.

ELECTRICAL - The motor of this compressor has a thermal overload protector. If the motor should overheat, the overload protector will shut off the motor. If this should occur, turn the compressor off immediately and allow the motor to cool. Check the circuit breakers, they may need to be reset.

Restart the compressor. If the compressor fails to start, the compressor may need to cool further. If the overload protector shuts the motor off frequently, you may have a low voltage situation. Low voltage can be suspected when:

1. The motor does not achieve full power or speed.

2. Fuses or circuit breakers activate when starting the compressor.

3. Lights dim when the compressor is started.

4. Other electrical appliances fail to operate properly.

5. Compressor shakes or hesitates when starting.

A primary cause of voltage drop is using an extension cord that is not heavy enough to carry the current the AA-98 compressor draws.

An under size or over-length extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Always use a heavy gauge 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug.
