- Check blade wear by measuring distance from the corner of
the rotor slot to the blade. Replace blade before
5/8” wear is reached.
Blade wear can be checked through the
suction port with calipers,after machine is turned off and cool.

• Inspect compressor mounting, driveline, PTO, and air filter for
integrity.
• Check that the bleed valve is set to vent to atmosphere.
• Follow trailer instructions regarding product hose connection
and valve operation.
• Slowly engage PTO with engine at idle, and bring up to
operating speed shown on label.
Incorrect speed will cause compressor failure.Incorrect speed will cause compressor failure.
Incorrect speed will cause compressor failure.Incorrect speed will cause compressor failure.
Incorrect speed will cause compressor failure.
• Lock engine at recommended speed. The engine speed
must remain constant throughout the discharge cycle.
• Turn bleed valve to direct air into the tank.
• Unload trailer as per trailer manufacturer’s recommendation.
Do not exceed maximum tank pressure.
• If relief valve is operating, adjust bleed valve to reduce tank
pressure.
Note: Do not decrease engine speed to reduce pressure.
Too low (or high) speed will cause compressor failure.
• When unloading is completed, open the bleed valve and
reduce pressure as per trailer manufacturer’s instructions.
• Check that all valves are in their correct shutdown positions.
• Disengage PTO.

Failure to replace the
blades will eventually
result in machine failure.
Late blade change can
permanently damage the
