Aeras Ramvac C6-2 Dental Air Compressor

MAINTENANCE OVERVIEW

Aeras compressor preventive maintenance is simple, clean and inexpensive. It can help ensure your system provides years of predictable performance. While most maintenance tasks can be performed by the user, Ramvac recommends having all service and maintenance conducted by a dealer service technician.

Key Points for Trouble-free Operation

  • Follow the recommended PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE.
  • Check the coalescing and particulate filter element service indicators every month.
  • Keep compressor clean and free of dirt.
  • Keep area surrounding compressor free of debris.
  • Maintain a controlled ambient temperature between recommended levels. High temperatures will shorten the life of the air compressor.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Always disconnect the power from the equipment prior to cleaning.
  2. Some parts/components on the compressor get hot during operation; provide the equipment ample time to cool prior to cleaning.
  3. All components can be safely wiped down with a damp cloth, wet with water. Using any cleaners or harsh chemicals to clean this equipment is NOT recommended; potentially harmful effects have not been evaluated.
  4. Do not heavily wet electrical components.
  5. Allow equipment to air dry or dry with clean, soft cloth.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
This is the recommended schedule for a compressor in a clean, dry environment. Any site other than specified will decrease maintenance time exponentially.
