Air Filter - Inspection and
Replacement
Hot surfaces.
Risk of burn.
Compressor heads are exposed
when filter cover is removed.
Allow compressor to cool prior to
servicing.
Keep the air filter
clean at all times.
Do not operate the air compressor
with the air filter removed.
A dirty air filter will not allow the
compressor pump to operate at
full capacity. Before using the
compressor pump, check the air filter
to make sure it is clean and in place.
If it is dirty, replace it with a new filter.
1. Using a pair of needle nose pliers
or a screwdriver pull or pry out
the old filter and carefully clean
the filter area.
2. Push the new air filter in place.
Refer to the "Repair Parts" for
the correct part number.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate
the compressor with the air filter
removed.
To Replace Belt
Serious injury
or damage may
occur if parts of the body or loose
items get caught in moving parts.
Never operate the unit with the
belt guard removed. The belt guard
should be removed only when the
compressor is unplugged.
1. Place the On/Auto/Off lever in
the "OFF" position.
2. Unplug compressor.
3. Remove the front of the belt
guard by disengaging the snaps.
Insert a flat bladed screwdriver at
each snap location and pry the
beltguard apart.
4. Loosen the wing nut on hold
down plate and tilt motor
to allow for easy removal or
installation of the belt.
5. Remove belt.
6. Replace belt. NOTE: The belt
must be centered over the
grooves on the flywheel and
motor pulley.
7. Turn the wing nut on the hold
down plate until it makes contact
with the washer, plus one
additional turn.
8. Replace the belt guard.
Motor Pulley/Flywheel
Alignment
NOTE: Once the motor pulley has
been moved from its factory set
location, the grooves of the flywheel
and pulley must be aligned to within
1/16" to prevent excessive belt wear.
The air compressor flywheel and
motor pulley must be in-line (in the
same plane) within 1/16" to assure
belt retention within flywheel belt
grooves. To check alignment,
perform the following steps:
1. Turn air compressor off, lock out
the power supply, and relieve all
air pressure from the air tank.
2. Remove belt guard.
3. Place a straightedge against the
outside of the flywheel and the
motor drive pulley.
