Reciprocating Pressure Lubricated Pump Operating Manual 1
DANGER! Breathable Air Warning This compressor/pump is NOT equipped and should NOT be used “as is” to supply breathing quality air. Intake air can cause carbon monoxide or other contaminants. For any application of air for human consumption, you must fit the air compressor/pump with suitable in-line safety and alarm equipment.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION! READ AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS. RETAIN FOR REFRERENCE This manual provides safe and reliable instructions for installation, operation and maintenance of your air compressor pump. In order to receive maximum performance and long life from your compressor, the following instructions should be carefully read and all points regarding installation and operation of the unit should be noted and observed.
If the compressor has to be located where the motor will be exposed to appreciable quantities of water, dirt, oil, acid, or alkaline fumes, the motor must be of special construction to avoid rapid deterioration; i.e. TEFC Unless the base is exactly level, shims will be required. Any space between the base and foot of the tank should be shimmed rather than drawing the foot down, thus placing strain on the unit. When properly shimmed, vibration will be at a minimum.
Caution • • Never install a shut-off valve, such as a glove or gate valve, between the compressor and discharge opening and the receiver unless a safety valve is installed in the line between this valve and the compressor. Never operate the pump at pressures or speeds in excess of those recommended by the factory. (900rpm or 175 psi) Tank Tank feet should be place on vibration isolator pads available through your dealer. Anchor bolts should be gently snug, but not tight, to allow for some vibration.

6 7 Low pressure discharge valve leaking. Inadequate ventilation around belt wheel Inspect, clean or repair as required. Relocate compressor for better air flow. 8 Leaking, broken or worn inlet unloader parts Inspect parts and replace as required. 9 10 Crankshaft seal worn or crankshaft scored. Detergent type lubricant being used. Replace seal. Install shaft sleeve if required. Install Bearing/Connecting Rod Kit. Drain existing lubricant and refill with proper lubricant.
29 Automatic start and stop mode is not suitable for air demand Adjust auxiliary valve for constant speed operation. 30 Wrong belt wheel direction of rotation Check motor wiring for proper connections. Reverse two leads on three-phase motors. 31 32 Ambient temperature too low. Cylinder or piston worn or scored install crankcase heater kit. Convert to All Season Select lubricant. Relocate compressor to warmer environment. Repair or replace as required.
Required maintenance Schedule to maintain warranty status ➢ All units are shipped with break-in oil and must be changed no less than 70 hours to insure gasket seating. ➢ After the 70 hours of break-in you must change the oil ➢ Thereafter Oil Should be changed every 6 months or 1000 hours whichever occurs first. ➢ Always maintain proper oil level in unit. If the unit runs out of oil due to neglect the warranty will be void.
