A simple inspection checklist helps customers recognize compressor warning signs before the unit stops performing. It also gives the service provider better information when the customer calls for help.

This page is useful for anyone responsible for an air compressor in a shop, facility, farm, garage, fleet operation or worksite.

Pre-service checklist

Look for air leaks, oil leaks, dirty filters, moisture problems, unusual noise, loose belts, overheating, pressure drop, constant running or a unit that takes longer than usual to recover.

Why filters, oil and drains matter

Filters protect the system, oil or lubrication affects component life, and drains help manage moisture. Neglecting these items can create poor performance and shorten equipment life.

How to prepare for a service conversation

Write down the compressor type, symptoms, pressure behavior, last known service, operating environment and whether the issue affects one tool or the entire system.
