DRAIN TAP
Pic. 14

excess air will also help purge the moisture. Leave the drain tap open
when air compressor is not in use, so any moisture can continue to
drain

To seal the drain tap push the lever up to horizontal.
NOTE: Remember to seal the drain tap before starting the compressor.
BELT TENSION
Pic. 15
Correct belt tension is paramount to a safe and reliable air compressor.
Too tight a belt can cause damage to bearings and premature motor
failure. These failures will not be covered by warranty. Too loose
a belt can cause poor performance and excess heat due to slippage
which can also lead to premature component failure. This will not
be covered by warranty. To check the belt tension, gently push down
midway between the two pulleys the belt should only move between
10mm – 15mm, Pic. 15. If the belt moves more that this amount then
you will need to tighten the belt.
To adjust the belt tension, follow these simple steps;
1. Loosen the motor bolts, Pic. 15.
2. Slide the motor forward or backward to correct position.
3. Tighten the motor bolts.
4. Check belt tension and repeat if needed.
5. If uncertain about attempting the above steps please
consult an authorised service agent.
