Owners Manual
APP2I0523T-EC5T

Introduction
In order to receive maximum performance and long life from your compressor, the following
instructions should be carefully read and all points regarding installation and operation of the
unit should be noted and observed. A careful reading of this manual, prior to connecting
anything to the motor of the compressor, will pay dividends in terms of trouble-free operation.

Inspection
Check for possible damage in transit and see that the pulley turns freely by hand. Report any
damage to the delivery carrier at once.

Location
Select a clean, dry, and well-lit location. In cold climates, the compressor should be installed in a
heated building. Insulate cold water or other low temperature pipes that pass overhead to avoid
the possible collection and dripping of condensate onto the compressor and motor that could
cause rusting or the motor shorting out. DO NOT install the compressor in a boiler room, paint
spray room, or area where sandblasting is carried on. If air in the area where the compressor is to
be installed is acid or dust laden, the compressor intake should be piped to the outside. This
intake pipe should increase in size for every twenty (20) feet of run and the intake filters should
be installed at the end of the pipes with a hood to protect them from the elements. Special size
filters are required for that pipe.
If the compressor has to be located where the motor will be exposed to appreciable quantities of
water, dirt, oil, acid, or alkaline fumes, the motor must be of special construction to avoid rapid
deterioration; i.e. TEFC
Unless the base is exactly level, shims will be required. Any space between the base and foot of
the tank should be shimmed rather than drawing the foot down, thus placing strain on the unit.
When is properly shimmed, vibration will be at a minimum. Also use a or less rubber pad
under each foot to help with vibration.
Allow sufficient space around the compressor so that it is accessible from all sides for
maintenance. Mount the unit with the pulley side toward the wall, but at least 18 inches from it.

Hooking up the pump

Mount pump to the deck of the tank. We recommend using angle iron to raise the pump
above the deck, to allow for better crankcase cooling.
Hook up main feed tube from the3/4 flare fitting to the check valve in the tank.
Run copper tubing from 90 degree elbow (coming out of the front crankcase) to the
side of your check valve.

Dont hook up the copper tubing on the top of the cylinder heads unless using a pilot
valve.
APP2I0523T-EC5T

Make sure there is a tube from the check valve in the tank to the unloader on the
pressure switch. This will relieve the head pressure when the compressor stops. This will
make it easier for the motor when the compressor goes to restart.
Fill crankcase with Mobil Rarus 427(or any non-detergent 30 weight air compressor oil)
to the center of the sight glass.

Size the correct pulley for your motor. Use a 4 pulley on a 3450 rpm motor and a 7
3/4 pulley on a 1750 rpm motor.
Install your belts. There should be a of play on the belt tension.
Turn on the motor and check for proper rotation. The pump must run counter clockwise
when facing the pulley side of the compressor.

Air intake
The compressor pumps are equipped with intake filters that require no piping. If it necessary to
pipe the intake outdoors, see paragraph 3, Location

Pipe Connection
A flexible connector should be used between the compressor tank and building piping or
connection to after cooler or other similar equipment in order to minimize noise, vibration,
vibration damage, and wear and tear.

Caution
Never install a shut-off valve, such as a glove or gate valve, between the compressor and
discharge opening and the receiver unless a safety valve is installed in the line between
this valve and the compressor.
Never operate the pump at pressures or speeds in excess of those recommended by the
factory. (900rpm or 175 psi)
APP2I0523T-EC5T

Tank
Tank feet should be place on vibration isolator pads available through your dealer. Anchor bolts
should be gently snugged, but not tight, to allow for vibration. Remember, the bolt is only a
guide to hold the compressor in place. Do not over tighten the legs of the tank against the
padsit will damage your tank. Caution:Do not set tank on dirt. Over time, the tank will tilt
causing the pump to fail from in adequate lubrication.

Starting
Check the oil level before starting
Turn compressor over a few revolutions by hand to make sure that everything is free.
Check the belt tension
Remove tools, rags, and any other objects from the vicinity of the compressor
Never put hands on the belt of idle units, unless the motor is switched off and locked
out
Note the direction of the arrow on the flywheel and be sure that the direction of
rotation is correct when the machine is started. Correct direction is counter-clockwise
when standing facing the flywheel. Air should be drawn through the intercooler onto
the cylinders for maximum cooling.

Operation and Care

Service
Oil should be changed within the first 50 hours or 30 days of use, which ever comes first. Use a
Mobil Rarus 427 or any non-detergent 30 weight air compressor oil. Warning!! Under no
circumstances should you use AUTOMOTIVE TYPE OIL. Repeat-DO NOT USE
AUTOMOTIVE OIL.
Oil should be changed every 90 days. Oil level should be at the halfway level in the sight
glass.
If oil is milky, it should be changed
Inspect air filters weekly and change as needed

Daily Care
Check oil level in crankcase and, if necessary, add sufficient oil to bring to (but not
above) halfway level on the sight glass (without the motor running)
Drain air receiver, drop legs
Stop, look, and listen a moment for any unusual noise, failure to compress, overheating,
vibration, or belt slippage. Correct before damage of a serious nature can develop.
APP2I0523T-EC5T

Monthly Care
Check and tighten all bolts as required
Check air connections and joints for leaks
Check V belts for any possible misalignment and tightness

Maintenance-Trouble Shooting-Repairs
SLOW PUMPING OR INSUFFICIENT PRESSURE CAN BE CAUSED BY:
Clogged inlet filter-(disassemble and clean thoroughly)
Leaks in airlines, valves, fittings, etc.-(Located using soapy water if necessary; replace or
tighten threaded parts)
Compressor too small for equipment being operated-(Check air requirements an add to
compressor capacity-consult dealer)
Leaking head valves-(Remove hold-down covers and remove valves for examination.
Repair or replace faulty valves)

Overheating
Compression of air generates heat, much of which is dissipated as air passes over the
intercooler and/or after cooler. Overheating can be caused by:

Pump running backwards- (reverse rotation) Proper rotation is counter clockwise when
facing the flywheel
One or more heads valves is failing to seat properly
Blown cylinder head gasket
Restriction in head, intercooler, or check valve
Lack of oil-(check oil level)
Dirt in intercooler fins or cylinder fins-(blow out with air)
Poor ventilation and high-room temperature.
