Builders move compressors and generators from lot to lot. Keep a fluid list on each machine and put one person in charge of service so it does not fall between crews.
Cold mornings and nailers
Water in air lines freezes and rusts nailers. Drain tanks daily and use the cold-weather practices the tool maker recommends.
Products by equipment.
Confirm the lubricant type, grade, and specifications in each equipment manual before ordering.
Compressors and nailers
