PULLEY ALIGNMENT
To check pulley alignment, remove the belt guard and place a straightedge (A) against the pump
flywheel (B) (Fig. 8). Measure and record the distance from the straightedge to the edge of the
drive belt at point C. Then measure the distance from the straightedge to the edge of the drive
belt again at points D and E. Both distances should be the same as at point C. If either D or E
are different from C, there is a misalignment which must be
corrected before the compressor is run.
To correct a pulley misalignment, use the
following procedure.
1. Remove the belt guard.
2. Loosen the motor mounting bolts.
3. Loosen the set screw on the motor pulley.
4. Align the motor pulley with the pump flywheel
(C = D = E).
5. Retighten the motor pulley set screw.
6. Adjust the proper belt tension.
7. Retighten the motor mounting bolts.
8. Reinstall the belt guard. All moving parts must
be guarded.
CLEANING THE AIR FILTER
A dirty air filter will reduce the compressor’s performance and
life. To avoid any internal contamination of the pump, the filter
should be cleaned frequently and replaced on a regular basis.
Remove the wing nut (H) and filter canister (I) to access the
filter (J).
Felt filters should be cleaned in warm, soapy water, rinsed and
allowed to air dry before reinstallation. Paper filters should be
replaced when dirty. Do not allow the filter to become filled with
dirt or paint. Replace the filter if it becomes filled with paint.
TESTING FOR LEAKS
Check that all connections are tight. A small leak in any of the
hoses, transfer tubes or pipe connections will substantially
reduce the performance of your air compressor. Locate a leak by spraying a small amount of soapy
water around the area of the suspected leak. Repair or replace the faulty component if bubbles
appear. Do not over tighten any connections.
STORAGE
Before storing the compressor for a prolonged period, use an air blowgun to clean all dust and
debris from the compressor. Disconnect the power cord and coil it up on the handle. Open the
drain valve to release all pressure from the tank. This will also drain all moisture from the tank.
Clean the filter element and filter housing; replace the element if necessary. Drain the oil from the
pump crankcase and replace it with new oil. Cover the entire unit to protect it from moisture
and dust.
