3. Relieve all internal pressure prior to opening any line, tting, hose, valve, drain plug, connection or other
component, such as lters and line oilers, and before relling optional air line anti-icer systems with
antifreeze compound.
1. Proper belt tension is determined by pressing on belt midway between motor pulley and ywheel. There
should be approximately 1/2 inch of deection. Refer to gure 3, pg. 4.
2. Always replace all belts with the same brand, at the same time. Make sure belts are unimatched. Do not
replace belts independently.
3. Do not splash lubricating oil on belts or pulleys when adjusting or replacing belts.
Inspect belt tension after rst 30 hours of operation then every 30 days.
Change oil every 90 days or if oil becomes milky. High humidity and excessive temperature changes can cause
moisture to form in the pump. This moisture will cause oil to break down and become milky. Be sure to check oil
regularly for proper lubrication. Make sure to dispose of used parts such as oil and lters in accordance with all
applicable regulations.
Some units are shipped with break-in oil. Change oil within rst 50 hours or 30 days of operation, whichever comes
rst. DO NOT use automotive type oil.
NOTICE
Use only Airbase Industries oil (PN: APOL03000G1). Use of any other
product will cause product damage and void the warranty.
CAUTION
Compressor components can become hot during operation. Avoid
bodily contact with hot liquids, hot surfaces and sharp edges and
corners.
Be sure to relieve all system pressure then lock out power and tag
compressor to prevent unexpected movement of the unit.
