What this sheet is for
Turn the compressor from the thing nobody looks at into a routine round with a date against it, so water in the receiver and a fraying hose get caught early.
Who it is for
Any workshop with a compressor and a ring main — garages, bodyshops, tyre bays and small fabrication shops.
How to use it
- Identify the compressor once at the top, and write in the cut-out reading from its own plate.
- Each check, drain the receiver and filter bowls, look at the oil, belt and guard.
- Write the reading you saw it cut out at — compare it to the plate yourself.
- Walk the lines listening for leaks and checking couplings, and note where any are.
- Log servicing and repairs on the Air Compressor Maintenance Log, not here.
What is on the sheet
One page, top to bottom:
Printed under the title: The routine round for the workshop compressor and the air lines that hang off it — receiver drained, oil looked at, belt and guard, the reading it cuts out at and the leaks you can hear.
Readings, not targets. The reading the receiver is meant to reach, and how often it is meant to be drained and serviced, are the manufacturer's figures and the rules where you work. Write the cut-out reading you saw; compare it to the plate yourself. Servicing and repairs belong on the Air Compressor Maintenance Log, not here.
Write-on lines: Compressor make / model · Serial no. · Location · Plate cut-out reading
Check round — one row per check — tick what was done, write what you saw
Table, 12 rows: Date · Receiver drained · Oil level · Belt & guard · Cut-out reading · Filter bowls drained · Hoses & couplings · Leaks heard · Checked by · Fault / action
Questions
How often should the compressor be checked?
That is set by the manufacturer's instructions and the rules where you work, which is why the sheet has a date column and not a frequency. Use it daily, weekly or whatever your own schedule says.
Why is there no pressure figure on the sheet?
Because the right figure is on the compressor's own plate and differs by machine. You copy it into the header once, then write each cut-out reading beside it.
