lost, even with a compass
I bought a Bauer Utilus last spring and I noticed that the filter canister would not hold pressure after I turned the compressor off. The electric motor also seemed to get a bit too hot. Never did an actual temp reading.
Back in December I filled a couple of tanks and started hearing a slight knock. Kinda sounded like a rod knocking in car. So I turned the compressor off thinking I would deal with it later.
I traded for a couple HP 100's and wanted to see what the compressor would do with HP tanks, never filled one off this compressor before. So off to the garage I go. All seemed to be fine as far as the noise AND the temp of the motor...what a surprise. After filling the first HP tank I shut things off and bleed a bit from the whip. I could hear the OPV on top of the filter slightly hissing. Didn't think anything about it since I had just filled a HP tank and figured that was the reason. I cleaned up things and decided to check and see if the canister still had pressure. Much to my surprise it did.
So the magic question is...is there anything that I might want to look at to make sure all is actually working well or should I just count my blessings?
