To drain tank, open drain cock, located in the middle
of the tank at one end. Allow a few seconds to purge the
tank of water. Weekly draining is usually the minimum
requirement.
NOTE. The frequency of draining depends on climatic
conditions. In humid climates, daily draining
may be necessary.
Consider adding the Honeywell
drain kit.
Visually check the air intake filter on l/3- to 2-hp
(0.25 to 1.49 kW) compressors for build-up of foreign
material on a routine basis. A dirty filter causes excessive
oil consumption, replace it.
The 3-hp (2.24 kW) and larger units use the Quincy
Air Maze fil t er silencer, which is checked for dirt by
removing it from the unit and holding a strong light
against the intake openings. Light should be visible when
observing from the inside of the filter.
in nonflammable
solvent or in warm, soapy water.
Check filter element condition by comparing tank
pressure to line pressure downstream from filter. If one
doesn't exist, a gage tap may have to be installed in the
line to read the pressure. The pressure difference should
not exceed 15 lb/in 2 (100 kPa) at any time. Filter ele-
ment should be replaced if the difference in pressure is
approaching this limit. Subtract the line pressure reading
from the tank pressure. The difference should not exceed
15 lb/in 2 (100 kPa).
Allowing system pressure to drop to zero during

Remove wing nut and clamp ring (C) from housing and

Hand pressure should depress the belt about 1/2 inch
(13 mm). Tighten the belt just enough to prevent slippage.
Adjust tension by loosening the motor hold-down bolts,
moving the motor until tension is correct, then retighten
the bolts. Insure that belt and pulleys are aligned. Replace
worn or frayed belts.
