⚠ Warning Before performing any maintenance: stop the compressor, close the air outlet valve, press Emergency Stop, disconnect power at the mains, and vent the separator tank by loosening the oil filler plug 1–2 turns. Confirm zero pressure in the system before opening any connection.
▲ Attention Do not reset maintenance warnings on the AirMASTER FORM controller until the corresponding maintenance has been physically completed. Resetting without service voids warranty coverage for related damage.
