Pre-Installation PACKAGE CONTENTS B A Part Description Quantity A Air Compressor Unit 1 B Air Filter Assembly 1 8
Pre-Installation COMPRESSOR COMPONENTS I H K J G C E M B A F F M L Side View Part A B C Description Pressure Switch - The compressor shuts off automatically when the tank pressure reaches the maximum preset pressure. After air is used from the tank and drops to a preset low level, the pressure switch signals the magnetic starter to turn the motor back on. When the motor turns off, you will hear air leaking out of the pressure switch unloader valve for a short time.
Pre-Installation (continued) SPECIFICATIONS Horsepower (HP) 7.5 Tank Outlet Size 3/4 NPT Number of Cylinders 2 Oil Capacity approximately 2 quarts Voltage 230 / 240 Volts, 31 Amps Length 29 in. 60 Hz, 1 Phase Width 33 in. Air Delivery @ 175 psi 22.2 SCFM Height 77 in. Air Delivery @ 90 psi 23.7 SCFM Weight 540 lbs. Max.
Installation - Mounting 1 Preparing for installation WARNING: Disconnect, tag, and lock out the power source, and then release all pressure from the system before attempting to install, service, relocate, or perform any maintenance. WARNING: This compressor is extremely top heavy. Enlist additional help to remove it from the shipping skid. CAUTION: Never use the shipping skid for mounting the compressor. IMPORTANT: Provide a minimum clearance of 18 in.
Installation - Mounting (continued) 2 3 Drilling the mounting holes Inserting the mounting bolts □ Insert the mounting bolts into the drilled holes. WARNING: This compressor is extremely top heavy. The unit must be bolted to the floor with isolation pads before operating to prevent equipment damage, injury, or death. □ Place a washer on each bolt. Thread a nut onto each bolt until the top of the nuts and bolts are flush.
Installation - Electrical 1 Preparing for installation 1 DANGER: Improperly grounded motors are shock hazards. Make sure all the equipment is properly grounded. WARNING: All wiring and electrical connections must be performed by a qualified electrician familiar with industrial motor controls. Installations must be in accordance with local and national codes.
Installation - Electrical (continued) 2 Preparing the magnetic starter □ Remove the magnetic starter cover by loosening the screw (1), as shown. Use a Phillips screwdriver. □ Lift the cover upwards from the bottom and off the base. □ Set the cover aside until wiring is completed. □ Familiarize yourself with these internal components of the magnetic starter.
Installation - Electrical (continued) 3 Making the electrical connections □ Use a blunt tool and hammer to carefully tap out the stamped cover (1) at the top of the magnetic starter box (2). 1 □ Loosen the ground screw (3). Loosen the terminal screws (4). □ Install the strain relief (5) on the magnetic starter (2). Do not tighten the screws (6) or nut (7) of the strain relief (5) on the power cord until wiring is complete.
Installation - Electrical (continued) 4 Securing the strain relief 2 1 □ Tighten the strain relief nut (1). Place a flathead screwdriver into the raised notch, and tap the screwdriver with a hammer until tight. □ Tighten the strain relief screws (2) to hold the power cord securely. 5 Reinstalling the magnetic starter cover □ Replace the magnetic starter cover. □ Tighten the magnetic cover screw (1) with a Phillips screwdriver. Follow the break-in procedure from the owner’s manual.
Assembly 1 Assembling the air compressor unit B WARNING: Never use plastic (PVC) pipe for compressed air. Serious injury or death could result. WARNING: Never install a shut-off valve between the compressor pump and the tank. Personal injury and / or equipment damage may occur. Never use reducers in discharge piping. NOTE: Do not overtighten. Over the life of the unit, you will clean or replace the filter as needed. This air compressor unit can be installed as part of an air distribution system.
Operation 1 Preparing for use 1 CAUTION: Check for proper oil level before operating! 2 NOTE: The pump oil level is full (1) as shown. NOTE: Use SAE 30 industrial grade air compressor oil or full synthetic motor oil like Mobil 1® 10W30. NOTE: Do not exceed the maximum oil capacity of approximately 2 qts. NOTE: Do not use regular automotive oil. Additives in regular motor oil can cause valve deposits and reduce pump life.
Operation (continued) ON/OFF CYCLING OF THE COMPRESSOR The air compressor unit (A) is designed to cycle on and off. When the shut-off (preset “cut-out”) pressure is reached, the compressor automatically shuts off. When air is depleted from the tank by use of a tire chuck, tool, etc., the compressor will restart automatically at its preset “cut-in” pressure. When a tool is in use, the compressor will cycle on and off automatically as needed to maintain air pressure in the tank.
Maintenance GENERAL MAINTENACE All repairs should be performed by an authorized service representative. WARNING: Disconnect, tag, and lock out the power source, and then release all pressure from the system before attempting to install, service, relocate, or perform any maintenance. 1 Checking and changing the oil Maintain the proper oil level by checking the oil sight glass (1) daily. Change the oil in the pump every 3 months. Use the following procedure to change (or add) oil.
Maintenance (continued) 4 5 Checking the belt □ Remove the four caps (1) and four flange nuts (2). Removing the belt □ Remove the front beltguard (3). □ Loosen (but do not remove) the four bolts (1) holding the motor in place. □ Pull the front beltguard (3) away from the air compressor unit (A). □ Shift the motor towards the pump. The belt should be slack and easily removed.
Maintenance (continued) 7 Reseting the thermal overload Allow the air compressor unit (A) to cool down after thermal overload of the magnetic starter is tripped. □ Disconnect, tag, and lock out the power source for the air compressor unit (A). □ Push the external reset switch (1). The internal overload switch (2) will be pushed back into place and return contact for the electrical current. □ Return power to the air compressor unit (A).
Maintenance (continued) 8 Checking the air filter 4 3 2 1 □ Remove the nut (1). □ Remove the air filter cover (2) from the air filter base (4). □ Remove and inspect the air filter element (3). □ If the air filter element is dirty, replace it. Install a new filter element. If the air filter element is clean, reinstall it. □ Reattach the air filter cover (2). □ Reattach the nut (1). Do not overtighten the nut as this maintenance process will be repeated regularly.
Troubleshooting Problem Possible Cause Solution The discharge pressure is low. □ The air demand exceeds the pump capacity. □ Reduce the air demand or use a compressor with more capacity. □ The air intake is restricted. □ Clean or replace the air filter element. □ There are air leaks in the fittings, tubing on the compressor, or the plumbing outside the unit. □ Listen for escaping air. Apply soap solution to all fittings and connections. Bubbles will appear at points of leakage.
Troubleshooting (continued) Problem Possible Cause The motor hums and runs □ The voltage is low. slowly, or the motor does not run at all. □ There are too many devices on the same circuit. Solution □ Check incoming voltage. It should be approximately 240 volts. The motor will not run properly on 208 volts. Low voltage could be due to wires (from electrical source to compressor) being too small in diameter and / or too long. Have a qualified electrician check these conditions and make repairs as needed.
Troubleshooting (continued) Problem Possible Cause The motor hums and runs □ The voltage supplied to the air compressor unit is low or not slowly or not at all. present. □ Check the incoming voltage with a voltmeter. Check the overload relay in magnetic starter or the reset switch on the motor. If the overload or the reset switch trips repeatedly, find and correct the cause. □ The motor winding is shorted or open. □ Replace the motor. □ The check valve or the unloader valve is malfunctioning.
