SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SAFETY VALVE Please familiarize yourself with the following information to prevent damage to your compressor unit and injury to the operator. This valve is factory installed to prevent over pressurizing of the air of the air receiver. it is factory set at a specific limit for your particular model, and should never be tampered with. CAUTIONS The air compressor and motor will get hot while in operation. Never touch the discharge tubing, motor or compressor pump while in operation.
It is recommended that the compressor be operated in temperatures under 104°F. In cold climates, the compressor should be installed in a heated building. All units are shipped with pressure switches and solenoid valves to bleed off the discharge line. The solenoid would need to be wired on site to the motor starter, so that every time the motor stopped the solenoid will be deenergized and will vent the discharge line so the compressor will start at no load.
Recommended Oil: 9. Maintenance Eagle Compressor Oil: #EAOIL10 (1L) #EAOIL40 (4L) * Compressor originally SAE20W Oil (ISO 68) filled Before doing any maintenance or adjustments to your air compressor, the following safety precautions should be taken: with 1. Turn off and lock out electric power. 2. Drain air receiver and air lines of air pressure.
10. Belt tension should be checked after 20 hours of operation. Check tension monthly thereafter. 11. Replacing Deltech Filter Element (if equipped) The recommended element change out is once a year or when the indicator changes to red. 12. Checking the Deltech Filter Internal Float Drain Valve Inspect the internal float valve every two to three weeks for excessive oil and water by pressuring the test valve on the bottom of the filter unit.
TROUBLE SHOOTING PROBLEM Will not start Low pressure Oil in discharge Compressor overheats POSSIBLE CAUSE • Incorrect power supply and/or wiring • • • • • • • • • • • • • Air receiver is at full pressure Safety valve leaks Drain cock open Loose tubes or fittings Dirty or plugged air filter Defective unloader valve Improper oil viscosity Too much oil in the crankcase Compressor overheated Restricted air filter Worn piston rings Clogged inlet filter Dirty compressor, head, cylinder or intercooler Opera
Motor stalls or blow breaker Water in crankcase oil gets dirty, rusty valves or cylinders • • • • Faulty check valve Valves incorrectly installed Drive belts too tight Defective motor • • • • • • Defective pressure switch Power being supplied by generator Cycle too short - compressor does not operate long enough to vapourize condensed moisture during compression System pressure leaking back through check valve when compressor is stopped Wrong oil being used • • Loose compressor, motor, engine or gua
