After a long shutdown, it is important to restart your air compressor system properly to avoid equipment damage and production downtime.

Before restarting the compressor, perform these basic checks:

  • Check the oil level and oil condition

  • Inspect the air intake filter

  • Look for any oil or air leaks

  • Drain condensate from the air tank

  • Ensure electrical connections are secure
