Operation and Care
The compressor pumps are equipped with intake filters that require no piping. If it necessary to pipe the
intake outdoors, see paragraph 3, “Location”
A flexible connector should be used between the compressor tank and building piping or connection to
after cooler or other similar equipment in order to minimize noise, vibration, vibration damage, and wear
and tear.
Tank feet should be place on vibration isolator pads available through your dealer. Anchor bolts should
be gently snugged, but not tight, to allow for vibration. Remember, the bolt is only a guide to hold the
compressor in place. Do not over tighten the legs of the tank against the pads…it will damage your tank.
Caution:
Do not set tank on dirt. Over time, the tank will tilt causing the pump to fail from in adequate
lubrication.
Oil should be changed within the first 50 hours or 30 days
of use, which ever comes first. “Use only genuine Airbase
Industries synthetic compressor oil in your Eaton piston
compressor”.
Warning!!
Under no circumstances should
you use AUTOMOTIVE TYPE OIL. Repeat-
DO NOT USE
AUTOMOTIVE OIL.
•
Never install a shut-off valve, such as a glove or gate valve, between the compressor and
discharge opening and the receiver unless a safety valve is installed in the line between this valve
and the compressor.
•
Never operate the pump at pressures or speeds in excess of those recommended by the factory.
(900rpm or 175 psi)
•
Check the oil level before starting
•
Turn compressor over a few revolutions by hand to make sure that everything is free.
•
Check the belt tension
•
Remove tools, rags, and any other objects from the vicinity of the compressor
•
Never put hands on the belt of idle units, unless the motor is switched off and locked out
•
Note the direction of the arrow on the flywheel and be sure that the direction of rotation is correct
when the machine is started. Correct direction is counter-clockwise when standing facing the
flywheel. Air should be drawn through the intercooler onto the cylinders for maximum cooling.
•
Oil should be changed every 90 days. Oil level
should be at the halfway level in the sight glass.
•
If oil is milky, it should be changed
•
Inspect air filters weekly and change as needed
