Instruction manual

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. If more than
one or two drops of oil leak out, the
drain valve should be cleaned or
replaced.
OPERATING YOUR AIR
COMPRESSOR
EXTRA CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO
AVOID PERSONAL INJURIES WITH
AUTOMATIC CONTROLLED
COMPRESSORS
1. Check unit for any damage. All
compressors are tested and inspected
at the factory and supplied in perfect
condition. Any damage is the freight
carrier’s responsibility and you must
notify the freight company immediately
upon discovering any damage, and
submit a claim. Ensure you have
documented the damage on the waybill
receipt if possible.
2. Check compressor installation and
wiring and perform a “break-in” run as
per item 4.
3. Turn on the electric power. The
compressor should start running and air
pressure should build up in the air
receiver as evidenced by the air receiver
pressure gauge. Make sure drain valve
and outlet valve are closed.
4. When the air receiver pressure
reaches the pressure switch cut-out
pressure, the compressor should stop
automatically and you are now ready to
start using the compressed air. As air is
used, the pressure in the air receiver will
drop and cause the pressure switch to
close and this will automatically start the
compressor.
