STORAGE
Before you store the air compressor, make sure you do the following:
1. Review the "Maintenance" section on the preceding pages and perform
scheduled maintenance as necessary.
2. Set the On/Auto/Off lever to "OFF".
3. Close the globe valve.
4. Remove the air tool or accessory.
5. Open the globe valve and allow the air to slowly bleed from the air tank
until tank pressure is approximately 20 psi.
6. Drain water from air tank by opening drain valve (counter-clockwise) on
bottom of tank.
Water will condense in the air tank. If not drained, water
will corrode and weaken the air tank causing a risk of air
tank rupture.
7. After the water has been drained, close the drain or drain valve.
NOTE: If drain valve is plugged, release all air pressure. The valve can then be
removed, cleaned, then reinstalled.
8. Protect the air hose from damage (such as being stepped on or run over).
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 compresor 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.
