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 />
