Maintenance

Compressor  Oil  Fill,  Level,  and 
Drain

Before adding or changing compressor oil, make sure 
that the compressor is completely relieved of pressure.  
The  drain  is  located  inside  the  service  door  on  the 
bottom of the sump tank. To drain the oil, remove the 
drain plug in the bottom of the tank.

Oil is added at the fill cap on the side of the machine. 
The  proper  oil  level  is  in  the  middle  of  the  oil 
sightglass  when  the  unit  is  shut  down  and  has  had 
time  to  settle.  The  machine  must  be  level  when 
checking the oil. The fill neck is designed to prevent 
overfilling; however, care must still be taken to ensure 
the proper oil level. DO NOT OVERFILL. The oil 
capacity is given in “Compressor Specifications”.

Belt Tensioning Procedure

First, be sure the unit is off and the key is removed. 
Then use a 3/4” socket to turn the compressor slide 
plate  adjustment  bolt  clockwise  to  tighten  the 
compressor  belts.  Proper  belt  tensioning  is  1/4” 
deflection @ 3.3 to 5 lbs of force per belt.

Changing the Air Intake Filter

The  air  intake  filter  is  a  heavy-duty  dry  type  high 
efficiency filter designed to protect the compressor 
from dust and foreign objects.

Frequency of  maintenance  of  the  filter  depends on 
dust  conditions  at  the  operating  site.    The  filter 
element must be serviced when clogged.  A clogged 
air filter element will reduce compressor performance 
and cause premature wear of components.

Belt Replacement Procedure

First  be  sure  that  the  unit  is  off  and    they  key  is 
removed.  Then  use  a  3/4”  socket  to  turn  the 
compressor  slide  plate  adjustment  bolt  counter 
clockwise to loosen the compressor belts. Only loosen 
enough to remove belts. Next, remove the old belts 
and install the new ones. Use a 3/4” socket to turn the 
compressor slide plate adjustment bolt clockwise to 
tighten the compressor belts. Proper belt tensioning 
is 1/4” deflection @ 3.3 to 5 lbs of force per belt. Use 
a belt tensiometer to properly tension the belts. 

Do  not  substitute  element.    Use  only  a  Condux 
International,  Inc.  approved  replacement  element.  
This element is rated at 350 PSI working pressure.  
Use of any non-approved element may be hazardous 
and could impair the performance and reliability of 
the compressor, possibly voiding the warranty and/or 
resulting  in  damage  to  property  and  serious  bodily 
harm.
