BELT ADJUSTMENT:
Install the triangular belt and adjust it so when pres-
sure is applied onto center, there should be 1/2”
(approx.) slack. See sketch
Note:
If the belt is installed too tightly, overloading of
the motor will occur. This will cause the motor to
overheat. If the belt is installed too loosely it will slip
and unstable operation and vibration will occur.
Caution:
The rotating direction for the flywheel must
follow the arrow shown on the beltguard.
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION:
To compress air, the pistons move up and down in the
cylinder. On the down stroke air is drawn in through the
inlet valve. The discharge valve remains closed. On the
upstroke of the piston, air is compressed. The inlet air
closes and compressed air is forced out through the dis-
charged valve, through the check valve into air receiver.
Working air is not available until the compressor has
raised the air receiver above that required at the air
service connection. The air inlet filter openings must be
kept clear of obstructions, which could reduce air deliv-
ery of the compressor.
Depending on the CFM requirements of the tools used,
your new air compressor can be used for operating paint
sprayers, air tools, grease guns, air brushes, caulking
guns, sandblasters, inflating tires and inflatable toys,
spraying weed killer and insecticides, etc. An air pres-
sure regulator is usually necessary for most of these
applications.
IT IS STRONGLY ADVISED, BEFORE OPERATING THE COMPRESSOR THE FOLLOWING POINTS ARE
CAREFULLY CHECKED.
(Daily)
1. Check to see that all nuts and bolts are snug.
2. Check to see if the belt is installed properly, with proper tension.
3. Check if the oil level is full.
4. Check if the compressor is fixed on a strong, stable level base.
5. Check if the oil breather is clean.
6. If the air filter is dirty it should be replaced or cleaned.
7. Check if the flywheel can be turned easily and smoothly.
