[AC Motor Maintenance Guide (For Air Compressor Operators)]
If your air compressor runs on an AC motor, this is a guide to show you how to keep the motor nice and efficient.
1. Daily / Regular Checks
*Keep it clean
Wipe off dust, oil, and dirt. Make sure the cooling vents are not blocked.
*Listen while running
Watch for unusual noise, vibration, or smell. Stop the machine if anything seems abnormal.
2. Weekly / Monthly Checks
*Check electrical connections
Make sure cables and terminals are tight and not damaged or burnt.
*Check motor temperature
The motor should feel warm, not extremely hot.
Overheating means something is wrong.
*Check mounting and alignment
Ensure the motor pulley is firmly mounted and properly aligned with the compressor pump's pulley.
3. Periodic Maintenance
Lubricate if required. Replace bearings if you hear grinding or whining noises.
Confirm voltage and frequency match the motor nameplate.
4. Safety Reminder
Always turn off and lock out power before inspecting or servicing the motor.
Regular checks help prevent breakdowns, improve efficiency, and extend motor life.
