INSTALLATION
7
9. Move the Compressor Pump back to its mounting position and secure each corner of the base with a 3/8”
diameter grade 5 or better bolt, washer, lock washer, and nut (all not included).
10. Make final alignment and adjust belt tension with the motor. It may be necessary to loosen the motor
mounting bolts to adjust the motor location. To test the proper tension on the V-belts, press down on the
belts—there should be 1/2” deflection or less at mid span. Tighten all mounting hardware.
11.
Connect plumbing hardware (not included) from the 1”–16 UN Air Outlet to the air destination (i.e.,
air pressure tank of the compressor, not included), routing the tubing in the shortest possible path.
12.
Depending on the tool which you will be using with this Compressor Pump, you may need to
incorporate additional components, such as an in-line oiler, a filter, or a dryer (all sold separately), as
shown on Figure D on page 9 and Figure E on page 10. Consult your air tool’s manual for needed
accessories.
13.
Install a safety guard (not included) that surrounds the motor pulley, V-belts, and Pump Pulley. This
safety guard must cover all sides of the moving belts and pulleys. It should have a clearance of about one
inch from the moving parts. The safety guard must be sturdy enough to prevent injury.
14.
To operate, fill the Compressor Pump Crankcase with Air Compressor Oil (sold separately) following
the directions in the next section. Then follow the manufacturer’s operating instructions and safety warnings
applicable to your air compressor.
WARNING!
Avoid serious injuries.
DO NOT
operate this Air Compressor Pump without a safety guard in
place.
CHECKING THE OIL
1. Check the oil level before operation. Fill the Pump Crankcase with SAE 30W, non-detergent, Air Compressor
Oil (sold separately).
IMPORTANT:
Running the Air Compressor Pump with no oil or low oil will cause damage to the equipment
and void the warranty.
2. The oil level should be at the center of the FULL level on the oil level sight glass, as shown in Figure C.
Add oil as needed to maintain this level. Do not let the oil level go below the center dot (LOW as shown in
Figure C) and do not overfill the oil so that it is above the center dot (OVERFILL as shown in Figure C) on
the sight glass.
3. TO ADD OIL:
A
. Remove the Oil Fill Plug.
B . Using a funnel to avoid spills, pour enough oil into the Pump Crankcase to reach
the FULL level in the Oil Sight Glass.
C. Replace the Oil Fill Plug
NOTE : SAE 30W, non-detergent, Air Compressor Oil (sold separately) is recommended for use with this
compressor.
4. Change the compressor oil after the first hour of use to remove any debris.
CAUTION! TO PREVENT INJURY FROM BURNS: DO NOT add or change the oil while the compressor is
in operation. Allow the compressor to cool before replacing oil.
NOTE
: This pump will consume oil during operation, so check oil level before every use.
