Do not operate this compressor in ambient temperatures lower
than -15° F. A crankcase heater is recommended for compressors
operating in temperatures under 32° F.
Lubricant Filter (if equipped)
When replacing the filter, apply a thin film of lubricant to the gasket surface
of the new filter prior to installing it onto the pump housing. Spin the filter
on the threaded stud until the gasket makes contact with the housing. Then
tighten the filter an additional 3/4 turn.
The filter provided with the compressor is for use with Quin-Cip or Qui-
Cip-D lubricant only.
A bent or damaged filter may rupture and leak. Do not use a filter
in this condition.
•Pulley / Sheave Alignment & Belt Tension
Improper pulley alignment and belt tension are causes for motor overloading,
excessive vibration, and premature belt and/or bear ing failure. To prevent this
from happening, check the pulley alignment and belt tension on a regular
basis (refer to
SECTION 5, •
Maintenance Schedule
).
Periodically inspect both the motor pulley(s) and compressor sheave(s) for
oil, grease, nicks or burrs. Clean or replace if neces sary. Make sure they are
securely fastened. Align the compressor sheave(s) with the motor pulley(s).
Drive belt grooves should be in line with each other. The compressor crankshaft
must be parallel to the motor or engine drive shaft.
Belt tension & alignment should be measured and adjusted to provide
smooth operation. Procedures are provided here to correctly measure and set
the drive belt tension & alignment:
