Lubricant Filter
When replacing the filter, apply a thin film of lubricant to the gasket surface
of the new filter prior to installing it onto the pump housing. Spin the filter
on the threaded stud until the gasket makes contact with the housing. Then
tighten the filter an additional 3/4 turn.
The filter provided with the compressor is for use with Quin-Cip or Qui-
Cip-D lubricant only.
A bent or damaged filter may rupture and leak. Do not use a filter
in this condition.
Pulley / Sheave Alignment & Belt Tension
Improper pulley/sheave alignment and belt tension are causes for mo tor
overloading, excessive vibration, and premature belt and/or bearing failure.
To prevent this from happening, check the pulley/sheave alignment and belt
tension on a regular basis (refer to SECTION 5, Maintenance Schedule).
Periodically inspect the motor pulley(s) and compressor sheave(s) for oil,
grease, nicks or burrs. Clean or replace if necessary. Make sure they are securely
fastened. Align the compressor sheave with the motor or engine pulley. Drive
belt grooves of the pulley(s) and sheave(s) should be in line with each other.
The compressor crankshaft must be parallel to the motor or engine drive shaft.
Belt tension should be measured and adjusted to provide smooth op eration.
Step-by-step procedures are provided here to correctly measure and set the
drive belt tension:
Step 1) Measure the span length of the drive. (Refer to Fig. 5-1, Setting
Belt Tension.)
