If the compressor is used in a dusty environment, the filter change interval should be reduced to every
50 hours, or more frequently as required.
13.11 Transmission Belts
Belt tension must be checked monthly. The transmission belts must be replaced every 500 working hours of
the compressor.
Do not carry out these tasks if the compressor has just shut down and is hot; wait for the compressor
to cool. All maintenance work must be carried out with the compressor OFF and the power supply
lead unplugged from the wall socket.
13.12 Checking Transmission Belts
To check for proper transmission belt tension (g, Figure 26) exert a pressure of
approximately 22 lb (10 kg) on the belt; check the belts do not flex by more than 1 cm
(0.39 in) with respect to its original position. Should they flex more than this, the belts
must be replaced.
13.13 Changing Transmission Belts
To replace the transmission belts, proceed as follows (see Figure 27):
•
Insert a screwdriver (a) between the first belt (b) and the pulley (c) of the cooling
fan (d).
•
Rotate the fan (d) counterclockwise until the belt comes out of the pulley groove.
•
Repeat the procedure on the second belt.
•
Change the belts with new ones. Make sure the belt model and length are the
same. Check that the characteristics of the new belt are
identical to those of the old one.
•
Insert the new belt on the internal groove of the electric
motor pulley (e).
•
Insert the belt on the internal groove of the fan pulley
while simultaneously turning the fan by hand until the belt
slips perfectly into the groove of the pulley.
•
Check that the belt is inserted perfectly in the grooves of
the two pulleys and that belt tension is correct.
•
Insert the second belt and carry out the same procedure
described for the first belt.
If belts (g) tension is not correct contact Nuvair for technical
assistance.
