[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 15196, member: 82"] [FONT=Arial][SIZE=2] I know this is a real long shot but never hurts to ask. I went and bought an old compressor on Monday to power my home made sandblaster. The machine works really well but I don't have any information on it. I managed to get a generic maintenance schedule for mobile screw compressors but I'd like a little more info on things like changing the air pressure, checking the pump oil pressure etc. I have NO experience with screw compressors and I don't want to over look something and ruin it. I made sure I checked the engine oil level before it started it, but I still don't know how to check the pump oil level, what oil should be used etc. The information I got did say to drain the reserve tank daily, but I don't even know how to get to it to do that!!! The thing that also amazes me is the reserve tank is TINY, maybe 1.5 - 2 times the size of a BBQ gas bottle!!! Even so, does this thing move some air!!! from the numbering I assume the 175 means 175 CFM. I hope to hook it up to my sandblaster on the weekend and see what it does. Its kinda old, about 30 years but starts really well and blows no smoke.[/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
