3.   Relieve all internal pressure prior to opening any line, fitting, hose, valve, drain plug, connection or other  
 

component, such as filters and line oilers, and before refilling optional air line anti-icer systems with  

 

 

antifreeze compound.

4.   Keep electrical wiring, including all terminals and pressure connectors in good condition. Replace any wiring  
 

that has cracked, cut, or otherwise damaged insulation. Replace terminals that are worn, discolored or    

 

corroded. Keep all terminals and pressure connectors clean and tight.

5.  

Keep all body parts and any hand-held tools or other conductive objects away from exposed live parts of the   

 

electrical system. When making repairs or adjustments, stand on a dry, insulated surface and 

DO NOT

 contact  

 

any other portion of the compressor.

6.  

DO NOT leave compressor unattended with exposed electrical components. Be sure to tag and disconnect all  

 

power if temporary absence is necessary.

1.  

Proper belt tension is determined by pressing on belt midway  

 

 

between motor pulley and flywheel. There should  

 

 

 

be approximately 1/2 inch of deflection.

2.   Adjust belt tension as needed by loosening the four motor frame   
 

nuts then adjusting single bolt head on belt tensioner. See figure  

 

11. 

Remember to tighten motor bolts after adjustment is  

 

 made.

3.   Always replace all belts with the same brand, at the same time.    
 

Make sure belts are unimatched. Do not replace belts    

 

 

independently.

CAUTION

Compressor components can become hot during operation. Avoid 
bodily contact with hot liquids, hot surfaces and sharp edges and 
corners.

Be sure to relieve all system pressure then lock out power and
tag compressor to prevent unexpected movement of the unit.

Inspect belt tension after first 30 hours of operation then every 30 days.
