Never install a shut-off valve (e.g. glove or gate valve) between the compressor
discharge opening and the receiver unless a safety valve is installed in the line
between this valve and the compressor.
Never operate the pump at a pressure or a speed in excess of those
recommended by the factory.
TANK
Tank feet should be placed on vibration isolator pads (1/4’’ thick or less) available through your
dealer. Anchor bolts should be gently snug, but not tight, to allow for vibration. Remember, the
bolt is only a guide to hold the compressor in place. Do not over tighten the legs of the tank
against the pads…it will damage your tank. Caution: Do not store tank on dirt or on an uneven
surface. Over time, the tank will tilt causing pump failure from no lubrication.
STARTING
Check oil level before starting. The oil should be in the center of the sight glass.
Turn the compressor over a few revolutions by hand to make sure that everything is
free.
Check belt tension. (should be ½’’ of play)
Remove rags, tools, and any other objects from the vicinity of the compressor.
Never put hands on the belts of an idle unit unless you are sure the main motor switch
is off.
Note the direction of the arrow stated on the belt guard and be sure rotation is the
same direction when running. Correct direction is counter-clockwise when standing
facing
the flywheel. Air should be drawn through the intercooler onto the
cylinders for maximum cooling.
