￿Check for oil leaks.

￿Check lubricant level. Fill as needed.

￿Drain receiver tank condensate (if automatic draining device is not provided). Open manual drain valve and collect and dispose of condensate accordingly.

￿Check for unusual noise and vibration.

￿Ensure beltguards and covers are securely in place.

￿Ensure engine (if supplied) is filled with fuel and lubricant according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

￿Ensure area around compressor is free from rags, tools, debris, and flammable or explosive materials.

￿Observe operation of safety/relief valves while the compressor is running. Replace safety/relief valves that do not operate freely.

￿Inspect air filter element(s). Clean if necessary.

￿Inspect for air leaks. Squirt soapy water around joints during compressor operation and watch for bubbles.

￿Check tightness of screws and bolts. Tighten as needed.

￿Inspect drive belts. Adjust if necessary.

￿Clean exterior.

￿Change petroleum lubricant while crankcase is warm.

￿Drain compressor oil and clean oil sight glass

￿Install maintenance pak

— or —

￿Change synthetic lubricant while crankcase is warm.

￿Replace filter element.

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 or engine anchor screws, pushing the motor or engine away from the pump, and retightening the motor or engine anchor screws. Some units are equipped with a belt tensioning bolt that, when turned, pulls the motor or engine 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 belt tension on electric motor and gas engine models including 2340, 2475, and 2545 (with "A" belt type only). Refer to the following illustration for a visual representation.

* indicates months/operating hours, whichever occurs first.

FILTER INSPECTION & CLEANING _____________________

1.Unscrew and remove the wing nut (A) securing the filter housing (B) to its base (C).

2.Remove the filter housing and withdraw the old filter element (D). Clean the element with a jet of air or vacuum.

3.Replace the filter element and housing, securing it in place with the wing nut previously removed.

OIL CHANGE ________________________________________

1.Remove the oil drain plug (A) and allow the lubricant to drain into a suitable container.

2.Replace the oil drain plug.

3.Follow the filling procedures in OPERATION section.

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

2.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 deflection indicated in the BELT TENSION TABLE in the DIAGRAMS & TABLES section. Compare the reading on the tension gauge to the table.

Follow the procedures outlined below to correctly set and measure tension on 7.5 through 30 horsepower models 2545, 7100, 15T and 3000 with "B" and "C" belt types.

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.
