December 27, 20169 yr Here are the two things you need to check weekly on your air compressor: Inspect Filters. If filters are clogged with dirt, your compressor won’t run efficiently. Clean or replace filters as needed for optimal performance. Inspect Belts. Look over belts for signs of wear like cracking or stretching. Replace as necessary Edited November 24, 20178 yr by Ron Dudelston tags added
December 28, 20169 yr I would add that if you have a "wet" compressor (it has a built-in oil bath), that you should check the sight glass before you use it...it's easy enough to do every time. Most of them will leak some (that I've seen).
