Cleaning the air filter

Checking and replacing V-belt and coupling

Warning of danger of detection/trapping in! Never attempt to check the V-belt
while the engine is running. Your hands could get caught between the V-belt and
the clutch. Serious hand injuries are the result.
If the vibratory power of the machine - regardless of the number of operating hours
- suddenly decreases or stops completely during normal operation, first of all check
the V-belt and clutch.
Loose or worn V-belts reduce power transmission efficiency, result in poor compaction
performance and shorten the service life of the belt itself. Therefore, always check the V-belt
tension at the specified intervals.

A contaminated air filter can contribute to problems starting the machine,
loss of performance during operation and shorten engine life.
Zipper Machines does not accept any liability for engine damage caused
by failure to clean the air filter regularly.
To clean the air filter, first loosen the wing nut on the air filter housing,
remove the cover (foam filter element) and remove the air filter cassette
(paper filter element). Clean both elements mechanically with a soft
brush.
If only the air filter cassette is to be cleaned, blow a dry jet of
compressed air from the inside against the filter until all dust has been
removed.
An air filter change is necessary when:
 The engine power drops and the fuel consumption increases at the
same time.
 the oil consumption increases
 the starting of the engine becomes more difficult
1. Loosen V-belt cover screws (S) and remove them.
2. Check tension:
3. Remount V-belt cover after having checked/corrected V-belt

V-belt tension is OK if the belt yields approx. 10 to 15 mm
under pressure with thumb and index finger (see illustration
on the left). If the V-belt is too loose or too tight, adjust the
tension!
