MAINTENANCE
CHECKING THE BELT TENSION
WARNING.
Make sure that the
compressor is disconnected from the
electrical supply before checking the
drive belt.
The belt must flex by approximately 10 mm when a
3 Kg load is applied (Fig.19). Reset the tension if
necessary, ensuring that the pulley and flywheel
remain correctly aligned.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
The compressor must be drained completely by
opening the drain valve. Drain the air receiver tank
after approx. 2 hours of use.
The air filter can be removed for either cleaning or
replacing. Clean the air filter element after every
100 hours of use or if low pressure is experienced.
Replace the air filter after 200 hours of use. Note:
Under no circumstances should the compressor be
operated with the air filter removed.
Cleaning and maintaining the compressor regularly
will give a long and trouble free life.
Before long term storage it is advisable to give the
compressor a thorough clean. This should include
the removal of all fitted accessories. Do not use
any solvents as these can damage plastic parts.
Only use a clean cloth dampened with warm soapy
water. Any metal parts should be given a wipe with
a light machine oil to prevent rusting.
WARNING.
Do not at any time let brake
fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based
products, penetrating oils, etc., come in
contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can
damage, weaken or destroy plastIc
which may result in serious personal
injury.
