modify the tank. Welding,
drilling or any other
modifications will weaken the
tank and could result in
damage from rupture or
explosion. Always replace
worn, cracked or damaged
tanks as soon as possible.
Drain liquid from the tank at
the end of each use.
Drive Belt
Belts will stretch as a result of
normal use. When they are
properly adjusted, the belt
deflects about
½
inch with 5
pounds of pressure applied
midway between the engine
pulley and pump.
To adjust the drive belt tension:
1) Remove the belt guard and
loosen the engine brace.
2) Loosen the four fasteners
that are holding the motor to the
base plate.
3) Shift the motor in the proper
direction. The belt must be
properly aligned when this
adjustment is made.
4) To align the belt, lay a
straight edge against the face of
the flywheel, touching the rim at
two places.
5) Adjust the flywheel or motor
pulley so that the belt runs
parallel to the straight edge.
6) Use a gear puller to move the
pulley on the shaft and to tighten
the fasteners.
7) Adjust the brace and then
tighten the fasteners, braces and
reinstall the belt guard.
Storage
1) When the unit is not in use,
the air hose and compressor
should be stored in a cool, dry
location.
2) Tanks should be drained of
moisture. The hose should be
disconnected and hung with the
open ends down to allow any
moisture to drain.
