  • Page 14 GENERAL MAINTENANCE (Cont'd.) HYDRAULIC UNLOADER: This compressor is equipped with an unloading device operated by oil pressure. When the compressor is turned off, the unloader will open resulting in a short burst of air from the unloader (released through the intake filter.). When the compressor is restarted, as soon as oil pressure reaches normal operation range (between 15 and 30 PSIG) the unloader valve closes and the compressor begins to pump air.

    COMPRESSOR PILOT VALVE PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT Proceed with the following instructions while compressor is running: Loosen locknut (4) and back off several turns. Do not turn differential pressure adjustment nut (3). Check reading on the tank pressure gauge. Set the compressor maximum pressure by turning threaded cap (1) clockwise to increase pressure or counter clockwise to decrease pressure.
