Adjusting Belt Tension
1. Remove and lock out power from the compressor. Release any
air pressure from the air tank.
2. Loosen the four screws from the beltguard. Remove beltguard.
3. Remove belt.
4. Loosen motor mounting bolts and slide motor to achieve
correct belt tension.
5. Tighten motor mount bolts to 10-20 ft./lbs. and replace belt.
6. Check for proper tension by applying three pounds of pressure
midway between the motor pulley and the beltwheel. The belt
is properly tensioned when it deflects approximately 1/4" at
this point.
7. Ensure beltwheel and motor pulley are aligned.
8. Replace beltguard.
Pressure Switch - Replacement
PRESSURE LOADS BEYOND DESIGN LIMITS MAY
CAUSE TANK RUPTURE OR EXPLOSION. PRES-
SURE SWITCH OPERATION IS RELATED TO MO-
TOR HP, TANK RATING AND SAFETY VALVE SET-
TING. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ADJUST, REMOVE OR
DEFEAT THE PRESSURE SWITCH, OR CHANGE
AND MODIFY ANY PRESSURE CONTROL RELATED
DEVICE. IF REPLACEMENT IS NECESSARY, THE
SAME RATED SWITCH MUST BE USED. CONTACT
A DEVILBISS AIR POWER AUTHORIZED SERVICE
CENTER FOR REPLACEMENT.
Motor Overload Protector - Reset
The motor has a manual thermal overload protector. If the
motor overheats for any reason, the overload protector will shut
off the motor. The motor must be allowed to cool down before
restarting. Turn the unit off. To restart, depress the red reset
button located on the end of the motor and turn ON/AUTO-OFF
switch to the ON position.
If the overload protector shuts the motor off fre-
quently, check for a possible voltage problem. Low
voltage can also be suspected when:
1. The motor does not get up to full power or speed.
2. Fuses blow out when the motor is started.
3. Lights dim when motor is started, and remain dim
while it is running.
Pulley and Flywheel - Alignment
The compressor flywheel and motor pulley grooves must be aligned
STORAGE OF COMPRESSOR OUTFIT
1. Review the "Maintenance" section on the preceding pages
and perform scheduled maintenance as necessary. Drain the
water from the air tank.
2. Set the ON/AUTO-OFF switch to the "OFF" position, and
remove and lockout power from the unit.
SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS (cont'd)
NOTE
within 1/32". To check alignment, remove and lock out power from
the compressor. Remove beltguard. Place a straight edge (such as
a ruler) against the outside of the flywheel and measure the distance
from it to the nearest groove. Alignment is achieved when the other
end of the straight edge is within 1/32" of the measured dimension
at the pulley grooves. If the pulleys are not aligned, loosen the motor
pulley set screw. Slide pulley until alignment is achieved. Tighten
pulley set screw to 70-80 inch pounds. Replace beltguard and
tighten beltguard screws securely.
Servicing Intake and Exhaust Valves
1. Remove and lock out power from compressor and relieve all air
pressure from the air tank.
2. Remove belt guard as noted in "Belt Guard - Removal and
Installation" in this manual.
3. Remove the air filter assembly.
4. Disconnect the pressure release and outlet tubes from the air
compressor.
5. Remove the hardware securing the cylinder head and remove
the cylinder head and valve plate.
MANY SOLVENTS ARE HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND A
HEALTH HAZARD IF INHALED. ALWAYS OBSERVE
THE SOLVENT MANUFACTURER'S SAFETY INSTRUC-
TIONS AND WARNINGS.
6. Clean carbon deposits in head cavities and valve plates with
lacquer thinner or other suitable solvent.
7. Clean the intake and exhaust valves with lacquer thinner or
other suitable solvent. Inspect valves; replace if necessary.
Do not use gasket cement on any gasket surface as this
may clog compressor valve cavities and air flow areas.
8.
Reinstall valve plate and gaskets.
9.
Install the cylinder head. Snug mounting screws and studs
tight, then torque to 25 to 30 foot pounds starting at the center
and working toward the outside.
10. Reconnect the pressure release and outlet tubes to the
compressor pump.
11. Replace air filter assembly.
3.
Remove any air tool or accessory.
4.
Protect the electrical cord and air hose from damage (such
as being stepped on or run over).
5.
Store the compressor in a clean and dry location.
