REPLACING THE BELT
WARNING:
Serious injury or damage may occur if parts
of the body or loose items get caught in moving parts.
Never operate the unit with the belt guard removed. The
belt guard should be removed only when the air compressor
power is disconnected.
□
Turn the air compressor off, lock out the power
supply, and relieve all air pressure from the air
tank.
□
Remove the four screws from the belt guard (1).
The front belt guard can now be lifted up and
away from the unit.
□
Mark the pump position on the saddle.
□
Loosen the motor mounting screws and slide the
motor toward the air compressor.
□
Remove the belt (2) and replace with a new one.
□
See
Adjusting the Belt Tension
before tightening
the motor mounting screws.
ADJUSTING THE BELT TENSION
□
Slide the motor into the original position, line
the motor up with the mark made earlier on the
saddle.
□
Tighten the two outside motor mounting screws
enough to hold the motor in place for checking
the pulley and flywheel alignment.
□
The belt should deflect 1/2 in. (12.7 mm) at
midway between the pulley and the flywheel
when a five-pound (2.26 kg.) weight is applied
at the midway point.
□
When proper belt tension is achieved, tighten all
four motor mounting screws. Torque to 15-20
ft-lbs. (20-27Nm).

NOTE:
Once the engine pulley has been moved from its
factory set location, the groves of the flywheel and pulley
must be aligned to within 1/16 in. (1.6mm) to prevent
excessive belt wear. Verify the alignment by performing the
following pulley and flywheel alignment.
