Maintenance<br />

General Considerations<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Turbo</strong> Air <strong>3000</strong> <strong>Centrifugal</strong> <strong>Compressor</strong> requires minimal maintenance. However, monitoring<br />

operating conditions on a daily (or shift change) basis is good practice. It allows the operators to<br />

become familiar with a smooth running machine which will lead to early detection of potential problems.<br />

<strong>The</strong> result is improved overall performance, a dependable supply of compressed air, longer<br />

compressor life, and lower overall compressed air costs.<br />

Just as with any other type of machinery, compressors are subject to operational changes from environmental<br />

conditions, wear, or neglect. A plugged condensate drain, unusual noises, temperature or<br />

vibration increases, discolored oil, and/or fluid leaks are some examples of operational changes that<br />

may signal beginning of potential problems. Recognizing any changes in operation and appropriately<br />

responding to those changes can prevent undesirable consequences such as unscheduled shutdown<br />

and/or the expense of unanticipated repairs.<br />

WARNING:<br />

Do not attempt service procedures other than those described in this manual. Even a<br />

minor adjustment, incorrectly performed could cause serious damage. Since the <strong>Turbo</strong> Air<br />

<strong>3000</strong> <strong>Centrifugal</strong> <strong>Compressor</strong> is a high technology product, for all other procedures always<br />

consult a Cooper <strong>Turbo</strong>compressor trained and authorized service representative.<br />
