Pump Manual

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. Remember, the bolt is only a guide to hold the compressor in place.

Do not over tighten the legs of the tank against the pads…it will damage your tank. Caution: Do not set tank on dirt.

Over time, the tank will tilt causing the pump to fail from in adequate lubrication.

Starting

• Compressor comes with oil, check the oil level before starting to ensure no oil has been lost

• Turn compressor over a few revolutions by hand to make sure that everything is free.

• Check the belt tension

• Remove tools, rags, and any other objects from the vicinity of the compressor

• Never put hands on the belt of idle units, unless the motor is switched off and locked out

• Note the direction of the arrow on the flywheel and be sure that the direction of rotation is correct when the

machine is started. Correct direction is counterclockwise when standing facing the flywheel. Air should be

drawn through the intercooler onto the cylinders for maximum cooling.
