Hey all,
I just sent my (actually my work's) Bauer compressor off for a complete maintenance (changed oil, filters, belt and then some) by a guy that came highly recommended from both by my regular LDS and another LDS (both claimed to send their compressors to him). Is there anything I need to pay extra attention to before trusting the fills, or can I assume that it's ready to go? The guy that did the maintenance mentioned double checking the triphasic in the new installation (new building) to make sure everything is "flowing in the right direction", which I plan to do in the AM when I reinstall the compressor. Anything else I need to pay attention to?

Thanks in advance.
 
If you mean 3 phase, then you need to make sure the compressor rotation is correct.

Hi Randini,

I recommend you check the filter is installed (and in proper condition), check the oil level, check the compressor rotation, and have your air tested to diving-air standards.

Lawrence Factor Xzam Labs does accredited air testing and we have Dealers world wide. Craig Clark is one of our dealers.

Have a great week!
