Any issues with your GX CS4?

[Don_Fabb]

Hi,

Have any of you had any issues with your GX CS4 compressor after operating it for a few weeks, month, or year?

(note: I'm a bit concerned with the 5 hours per turn of the grease pot since I don't have an integrated timer)

No... 8 months..

Ya I nuked mine within a year, in the spirit of transparency I did ask it to do more work than I should've.

The CX CS4 doesn't need that much grease.. I don't grease until 10 Hours run time..

I have had mine for 1.5 years with no issues. I never fill for more than a half hour, and I purge every 5 minutes.

For the timer, just buy a bibration hour meter from Amazon that comes on when if feels the vibrations. Most people do this.

Keep a note pad with the compressor & log your run time. I'll bet not many of us have a run timer but you SHOULD keep track.

16 hrs in 1.5years with no problems, but i just fill guns with it up to 4500psi
my F10 does the tanks.
all of my compressors have run time meters.

I’ve only had mine about 2 months & it’s been working great. I did install an hour meter, currently at 2.7 hours.

22.7 hours, no issues

which hour-meters are you guys installing, and is it difficult to install? I'm a bit resistant to messing around with the internal electrical wiring

I used the search function for information on the CS4 - particularly with respect to the grease cup and I'm convinced that everyone should check the grease cup immediately upon delivery of a new CS4.

As others have posted, my new compressor had a substantial air bubble in the grease. It took only a few minutes to remedy the situation and refit the grease cup. After refitting, I turned the cap 1/4 turn and then ran the compressor under no load for 3 minutes. I then turned off the compressor and turned the cap one complete turn. This was followed by a deadhead test that took 28 seconds from 0 to 300 bar.

Tape-on meters available, no connections needed. Photo of instructions on back of bubble pack it came in. Around $20 on eBay, can't change batteries but claim 3-year usage. WM

My friend Steve just posted a youtube video on this. He clocks fill time to keep estimated hours for the grease adjustment.

I tried one of these and didn’t work due to insufficient vibration. I hard wired mine into the compressor wires, only tracks time when turned on.

Works fine on Yong Heng, only complaint was first one's batteries only lasted a year. Second one @ 140 hours still going strong. Can't speak to GX-CS vibrations so direct wiring might be needed. WM

The only concern I've had so far is that it's so comparitively quiet that I'm micro-concerned about some of the sounds.

My YH (and even the Hill) would've drowned it out in their background noise.

There's this weird, barely audible suction-like sound that it makes.

What's up w that?

Just purchase an hour meter from Amazon for a few bucks and then you'll know when. They don't require much at all and you aren't going to hurt it unless you neglect it period.

10 months with 48 hours topping off a 97cf bottle and no problems. Hard wired meter.
