8. MAINTENANCE
Before doing any maintenance or adjustments to your air compressor, the
following safety precautions should be taken:
* TURN OFF AND LOCK OUT ELECTRIC POWER.
* DRAIN AIR RECEIVER AND AIR LINES OF AIR PRESSURE.
9. CHECKING BELT TENSION
Adjust belt(s) so when pressure is applied at the center, there is
approximately 1/2" slack (see diagram below).
If the belt is installed too tight, the motor might be overloaded. This will
cause the motor to overheat. If the belt is installed too loosely, it will
slip and excessive wear and vibration will occur.
