You can see tow behind air compressors (portable construction air compressors) everywhere. They are frequently seen on construction sites and on road construction, in construction yards and so on.
The owners of these tow behind air compressors have issues with them too. Often long used, ill used, through inclement weather and inhospitable conditions.

Recently purchased a Grimmer Schmidt 100dr rotory. It seems to run fine and produces air but I would like to obtain a manual for this model. If anyone can help me find one that would be great. The second question I have is about changing the air compressor oil. There is a drain on the bottom of the tank and a fill valve next to the sight glass, must I also drain the lines going to the compressor or is there any type of procedure needed when performing this task when I start the unit back up? Thank you
When I start my ingersoll rand XP900WCU it starts building up pressure and doesn’t quit until I kill it before it goes over 150 psi
