SAFETY NOTICE CompAir LeROI strives through constant research and development to provide this equipment with every necessary safety device. This manual contains numerous “Warnings,” “Cautions” and “Notes” intended to protect the equipment from damage and the operator from injury. However, none of these is a substitute for safe operating procedures.
Page 6
Safety instructions in this manual will appear as follows: DANGER Danger is used to indicate the presence of a hazard which will cause severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage if the warning is ignored. WARNING Warning is used to indicate the presence of a hazard which can cause severe personal injury, death, or substantial property damage if the warning is ignored.
FORWARD This manual contains vital information for the safe use and efficient operation of this unit. It must be read carefully and understood before installing, operating or servicing the unit. Failure to adhere to the instructions and warnings will expose operator or service personnel to the risk of serious injury or death.

WARNINGS RELATING TO AIR SYSTEMS 1. All service piping to and from the compressor must take into account pressure, temperature, vibration, corrosion and chemical resistance. Special attention should be given to the compatibility of the lubricant used and the system piping and accessories. 2.
CAUTION Use only genuine CompAir LeROI replacement parts. The use of other than genuine parts may cause machine malfunctions, exposing the operator to injury and the machine to damage. The use of other than genuine parts will also void the CompAir LeROI warranty.
AIR AND OIL FLOW Example: CL20 CUB Air circulates through the system beginning CL-CompAir LeROI at the air cleaner, passing through the intake valve and into the air end where it is 20 - Horsepower required to drive the air end compressed.

performance for specific combinations of motor horsepower and system pressure requirements. Initial belt tensioning will rapidly drop off during the first fifty to one hundred hours of compressor operation. Therefore, belt tension should be monitored daily during this period to minimize belt wear. A belt that is too loose will slip, causing excessive heat and accelerated wear.
