Instruction manual

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.
2. Mounting
Mount the compressor on a concrete
pad or solid floor, making certain that
the air receiver feet are level and that no
stress is placed on the legs when the
mounting nuts, if used, are tightened.
Shim feet if necessary. Severe
vibrations will result when feet are
uneven and drawn tightly to the floor,
which can lead to welds cracking or
fatigue failure of the air receiver.
The compressor must not be installed
closer than 18” to a wall or another
compressor.
ALMOST ALL WELD CRACKS OR
FATIGUE FAILURES ARE CAUSED BY
IMPROPER INSTALLATION AND ARE
NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY.
3. Wiring
REGULATIONS REQUIRE THAT ALL
WIRING BE DONE BY A LICENSED
ELECTRICIAN, FAILURE TO DO SO
COULD VOID YOUR WARRANTY
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 de-
energized and will vent the discharge
line so the compressor will start at no
load.
Note: Any warranty claims for electrical
components can only be considered
when submitted with proof of proper
electrical installation.
4. Break-in Procedure
1. Open the air receiver’s drain valve or
outlet valve.
2. Run the compressor for a minimum
of twenty (20) minutes in no-load
condition to lubricate the bearings and
pistons.
3. Close the air receiver drain valve and
the outlet valve. Your compressor is
now ready for use.
4. After 24 hours of operation check V-
belt for proper tension. Check that the
compressor pulley and motor sheave
are aligned and fastened securely (see
items 9 and 10).
5. Nuts and bolts may loosen. Re-
tighten when necessary.
6. Compressor oil may turn black. This
is normal. Change after 100 hours.
5. Before Operating the Air
Compressor, Please Check the
Following Carefully
1. Check to see that nuts and bolts are
all snug.
2. Check if the quantity and quality of oil
is correct.
3. If the intake filters are dirty, they
should be replaced or cleaned.
6. Compressor Lubrication
ALWAYS CHECK THE OIL LEVEL AND
QUALITY BEFORE START-UP. DO NOT
ADD OR CHANGE OIL WHILE THE UNIT
IS RUNNING. USE ONLY
RECOMMENDED NON-DETERGENT OIL.
