Oilless Basemount Air Compressor Please read and save these instructions. Read carefully before attempting to assemble, install, operate or maintain the product described. Protect yourself and others by observing all safety information. Failure to comply with instructions could result in personal injury and/or property damage! Retain instructions for future reference. Description GENERAL The Powerex oilless reciprocating air compressor has advanced compressor technology through the development of a completely oilless unit. The Powerex reciprocating compressor is available in single and two stage models. Continuously lubricated, sealed bearings provide oil-free compressed air and long compressor life. The on board fan, nned ywheel and temperature reducing composite piston create lower operating temperatures. DRY TYPE INLET FILTER The inlet lter on the Powerex compressor assures 99% of particulate free air is admitted to the unit. Change every 2,500 hours or more often in dirty locations. PISTON RINGS AND CYLINDERS The Powerex oilless reciprocating compressor pistons are made of a high-strength, self-lubricating composite using the most advanced technology available. These heat reducing pistons eliminate the effect of excessive grease leakage at the wrist pin bearing. PTFE rings reduce wear and provide selflubrication. Piston and piston rings should be replaced every 10,000 hours of operation. Safety Guidelines This manual contains information that is very important to know and understand.
