IMPORTANT:
Read engine maintenance instructions for
applicable service recommendations�
Turn off all power and use light air pressure to blow dust and
foreign material from cylinder head, engine, fan blades, air lines,
intercooler and tank on a monthly basis�
Use a soap solution to check entire system for air leakage around
fittings, etc� Tighten nuts and capscrews as required�
beltS
Disconnect the battery cable, then drain the
tank to prevent unexpected movement of the
unit.
Check belt tension every 3 months. Adjust belt tension to allow
3/8 inch to 1/2 inch deflection with normal thumb pressure (See
Figure 11).
Also, align belts using a straight edge against the face of the
flywheel and touching the rim on both sides of the face� The
belts should be parallel to the straight edge to ensure proper
alignment of the belts (See Figure 12).
Storage
If compressor is to be stored for a short period of time, make
sure that it is stored in a normal position and in a cool protected
area� If the unit is to be stored for more than 30 days, completely
drain the engine of fuel and oil� See engine manual for storage
instructions�
