BELTADJUSTMENT

CHECKING BELT TENSION. Check belt tension should be occasionally, especially if looseness is suspected. New belts must also be properly tensioned upon installation.

TENSIONING BELTS. Belt tensioning can be achieved by loosening the motor anchor screws, pushing the motor away from the pump, and retightening the motor anchor screws. Some units are equipped with a belt tensioning bolt that, when turned, pulls the motor away from the pump. Otherwise, the motor can be easily moved by placing a prying tool beneath it. A commercially available spreader or other belt tensioning device can also be helpful.

Follow the procedures outlined below to correctly set and measure tension.

1.Measure the span length (t) of the drive.

2.Determine the amount of deflection (in inches) required to measure deflection force (in pounds) by multiplying the span length (t) by 1/ 64. For example, a 32” span length multiplied by 1/64 equals 1/2” of deflection required to measure deflection force.

3.Lay a straight edge across the top outer surface of the belt drive from pulley to sheave.

4.At the center of the span, perpendicular to the belt, apply pressure to the outer surface of the belt with a tension gauge. Force the belt to the predetermined deflection calculated in step 2. Compare the reading on the tension gauge to the BELT TENSION TABLE in the DIAGRAMS & TABLES section.

Ensure the pulley and sheave are properly aligned and the motor anchor screws are adequately retightened prior to restarting the compressor.

aCAUTION

Improper pulley/sheave alignment and belt

 

tension can result in motor overload,

 

excessive vibration, and premature belt and/or

 

bearing failure.

To prevent these problems from occurring, ensure the pulley and sheave are aligned and belt tension is satisfactory after installing new belts or tensioning existing belts.

ELECTRIC DRAIN MAINTENANCE

NOTE:

The following maintenance schedule has been

 

developed for typical applications.

 

Maintenance intervals should be shortened in

 

harsher environments.

DRAIN VALVE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

DAILY

Test the valve for proper

 

operation. Clean the filter

 

screen if needed.

MONTHLY (EVERY 30 DAYS)

Clean the filter screen.

 

 

To clean the filter screen, perform the following steps:

1.Close the strainer ball valve completely to isolate it from the air receiver tank.

2.Press the TEST button on the timer to vent the pressure remaining in the valve. Repeat until all pressure is removed.

aCAUTION! High pressure air can cause injury from flying debris. Ensure the strainer ball valve is completely closed and pressure is released from the valve prior to cleaning.

3.Remove the plug from the strainer with a suitable wrench. If you hear air escaping from the cleaning port, STOP IMMEDIATELY and repeat steps 1 and 2.

4.Remove the stainless steel filter screen and clean it. Remove any debris that may be in the strainer body before replacing the filter screen.

5.Replace plug and tighten with wrench.

6.When putting the EDV-2000 back into service, press the TEST button to confirm proper function.

TANK INSPECTION

The life of an air receiver tank is dependent upon several factors including, but not limited to, operating conditions, ambient environments, and the level of maintenance. The exact effect of these factors on tank life is difficult to predict; therefore, Ingersoll-Rand recommends that you schedule a certified tank inspection within the first five years of compressor service. To arrange a tank inspection, contact Ingersoll-Rand.

If the tank has not been inspected within the first 10 years of compressor service, the receiver must be taken out of service until it has passed inspection. Tanks that fail to meet requirements must be replaced.

aWARNING

Failure to replace a rusted air receiver tank

 

could result in air receiver tank rupture or

 

explosion, which could cause substantial

 

property damage, severe personal injury, or

 

death. Never modify or repair tank. Obtain

 

replacement from service center.
