Installation

Note: Depending on your level of expertise, you may wish to have a qualified technician perform this installation.

Caution: Avoid damage to the Air Compressor Pump and other equipment. Make sure the mounting surface for the Air Compressor Pump is installed on a flat and level surface, strong enough to support the pump and motor.

1.Place the Air Compressor Pump on the mounting surface at the same level as the 3 HP motor used to drive it. The 14-¼ inch V-groove Belt Wheel (35) of the Air Compressor Pump must be in perfect alignment with the motor pulley (not included).

2.Verify that the Belt Wheel (35) turns freely where it overhangs the mounting surface.

3.Place the V-groove belts (not included) over the Belt Wheel (35) and motor pulley.

4.Pull Compressor Pump until properly aligned, and the belt is tight. Recheck motor pulley, V-groove belt, and Belt Wheel alignment.

5.Use a pencil to mark through the Air Compressor Pump mounting holes onto the mounting surface.

6.Move the Air Compressor Pump and drill four 3/8 inch holes in the mounting surface.

7.Move the Air Compressor Pump back to its mounting position.

9.Make final alignment and belt tightness adjustments from the motor. It may be necessary to loosen the motor mounting bolts to adjust the motor location. To test the proper tension on the V-belts, press down on the belts, they should not depress more than 1/2 inch at mid-point.Tighten all mounting hardware.
