Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the compressor, wiring, relay, and air lines regularly for damage, wear, or loose connections.
• Keep the compressor clean and free from dirt, mud, water, and road debris buildup.
• Check electrical connections and terminals for corrosion, looseness, or moisture exposure.
• Inspect air fittings and hoses for leaks using a soap-and-water solution.
• Ensure mounting hardware remains tight and the compressor is securely installed.
• Check air filter condition and replace or clean as needed for proper airflow.
• Avoid operating the compressor beyond recommended duty cycle limits to prevent overheating.
• Monitor compressor performance and address unusual noises, slow air delivery, or pressure issues promptly.
• Protect the compressor from excessive heat and ensure adequate ventilation around the unit.
• Perform regular maintenance checks to maintain reliable on-board air performance.
