Changing V-Belt

To change the V-belt drive on your air compressor:

1.Remove the belt guard. The guard is attached to the compressor frame by the mounting bolts shown in Figure 21.

3.Remove the V-belt from the motor pul- ley and fly pulley.

4.Install the new V-belt.

5.Reposition the motor to tension the belt and secure the mounting bolts loos- ened in step 2.

Note: A properly tensioned V-belt will have about a ½" deflection as shown in Figure 23.

2.Loosen the four nuts (one side shown in Figure 22) that secure the motor to the compressor frame so the motor can slide towards crankcase, relieving the tension on the V-belt.

6.Replace belt guard.

Make sure the V-belt is properly tensioned. If the V-belt is too tight, the motor could overheat and cause machine damage or fire. If the V-belt is too loose, the belt will slip on the pulley and cause belt damage and compressor inefficiency.
