CHECKING AND CHANGING AIR

INTAKE FILTER

NOTE

Keep the air filter clean at all times. Do

not operate compressor outfit when

the filters are removed.

The conditionofthe air intakefiltershouldbe checked

once a week. A dirtyair intake filter will not allow the

compressortooperateatfull capacityandwill increase

oilusage.

When the airfilter becomes dirty, oily,or coveredwith

paint overspray it must be replaced. To check and/or

replace the air intake filter, remove the screw securing

the filter assembly to the air compressor pump. Re-

move the filter. Inspect condition of filter; replace if

necessary.

NOTE

Felt and foam intake filters can be

washed in non-explosive solvent.

Allow to dry and reinstall. DO NOT OIL

INTAKE FILTERS.

Open the drain valve. Continue operating outfituntil

allmoistureis removedfrom the tank. Closethe drain

valvetightly.

NOTE

If the draincock is clogged, release

the air pressure in the tank. Remove

the drain valve and clean or replace.

Apply sealant to the threads before

reinstalling the drain valve.

CHECKING AND ADJUSTING BELT

TENSION

Serious injury or damage may occur

if parts of the body or loose items get

caught in moving parts. Never operate

the compressor outfit with the belt

guard removed. The belt guard should

only be removed after the spark plug

wire has been disconnected.

DRAINING WATER FROM AIR TANK

Water will condense in the air tank.

If not drained, the water will corrode

and weaken the air tank. A weakened

tank may explode or rupture causing

personal injury. Drain the tank as

instructed below.

Water should be drained from the air tank daily. If

humidity is highthe tank shouldbe drained at regular

intervals duringthe day. Operate the compressor

outfit to allow 15 to 20 psi air pressure inthe tank.

The drive belt shouldbe kept in propertension as a

loose beltwillslip and wear faster. An over tightened

belt will place an excessive load on the engine and

compressor pumpbearings causing prematurefail-

ure. The belt tensionshould be checked as follows:

1. Disconnect the spark plug wire and drein all air

pressure fromthe air tank.

2. Removethebeltguard.

3. Loosen all enginemountinghardwareand slide

the engine either toward oraway from the

compressor untilcorrect belttension is

achieved.
