MCH36 Open Diesel (Kubota)
Start Up and Belt Tension Aids
This unit has had additional equipment installed and modifications made to ensure that the
drive belts maintain proper tension and contact with engine and compressor pulleys.
1. The Kubota diesel has been set so to run
at a minimum speed of 1500 RPM. This has
been accomplished by setting the throttle
return stop and adjusting the throttle cable length.
a. At idle (1500 engine RPM) the compressor will be
turning at 812 RPM and producing 11.5 CFM FAD
b. At full throttle (2400 engine RPM) the compressor
will be turning at 1300 RPM and producing 22 CFM FAD (26 SCFM)
2. An Idler pulley has been installed to maintain
tension on the drive belts. The idler can be adjusted
to compensate for belt wear. Loosen the two bolts
behind the pulley and use a 1-1/2 in socket or
wrench on the pulley bolt head to lever the pulley up
and re-tension the belts.
3. A manual Pressure Relief Valve has been installed to aid in
startup. This decreases wear on the drive belts and the
Kubota starter.
To start the unit:
a. Turn the bypass valve to the “START-UP” position and
allow any stored air pressure to escape.
b. Start the Kubota and allow any necessary warm-up time.
c. Bring the Kubota up to operating speed and turn the
bypass valve to the “RUN” position.
*Note: Do not leave the valve partially open, turn it all the way to the stop in either direction.
