During heavy use or sand blasting, we recommend using the continuous run feature. If you follow the ¼”
copper line that runs across the cylinder heads down to the tank you will find the red handle ¼” Ball valve,
it will be in the open position, this is the continuous run. To close this, turn the handle to the start/stop
position. Some will have a thumbscrew turn completely out for continuous run, run all the way in for stop-
start mode.
ALWAYS PULL THE MOTOR DISCONNECT SWITCH BEFORE WORKING ON BELTS SO THE
MOTOR CANNOT START UP UNEXPECTEDLY.
When belt tension is adjusted properly, the belts can be
depressed at a point midway between the motor pulley and the flywheel approximately one half of an inch.
Loose belts will slip on the motor pulley and cause undue heating and wear. A belt that is too tight will
overload the bearings. Adjustments can be made by sliding the motor along its base. When installing new
belts, it is necessary that the motor bolts be loosened and the motor be moved toward the compressor.
The new belts can then be installed without damage or strain. As belts will stretch, it is recommended that
all belts be changed at the same time.
¼” Copper tubing that runs across the cylinder heads will not be hooked up. This is for the continuous run.
You must have a pilot valve to utilize the continuous run feature.
