Pulley Alignment; Drive Belt Replacement; To Replace Or Clean Check Valve - Craftsman 921.16475 Manual Del Usuario

PULLEY ALIGNMENT

NOTE: Once the motor pulley has been moved from its factory
set location, the grooves of the flywheel and pulley must
be aligned to within 1/16" to prevent excessive belt wear.
To check pulley alignment, remove the belt guard and place
a straightedge (see A) against the pump flywheel (see B) (See
Fig. 9). Measure and record the distance from the straightedge to
the edge of the drive belt at point C. Then measure the distance
from the straightedge to the edge of the drive belt again at points
D and E. Both distances should be the same as at point C. If D or
E are different from C, there is a misalignment which must be
corrected before the compressor is run. To correct a pulley
misalignment, use the following procedure.
1. Remove the front of the beltguard by removing the 5 screws
using a Phillips head screwdriver.
2. Loosen the motor mounting bolts.
3. Loosen the setscrew on the motor pulley.
4. Align the motor pulley with the pump flywheel (C-D-E must
be equal ).
5. Retighten the motor pulley setscrew to 85-90 in.-lbs.
6. Adjust the proper belt tension.
7. Retighten the motor mounting bolts to 130-180 in.-lbs.
8. Reinstall the belt guard. All moving parts must be
guarded.

DRIVE BELT REPLACEMENT

WARNING:
RISK OF INJURY. This unit starts
automatically. ALWAYS shut off the compressor,
remove the plug from the outlet, and bleed all
pressure from the system before servicing the
compressor, and when the compressor is not in use.
Do not use the unit with the shrouds or belt guard
removed. Serious injury could occur from contact
with moving parts.
1. Remove the front of the beltguard by removing the 5 screws
using a Phillips head screwdriver.
2. Loosen the motor mounting bolts.
MAINTENANCE
3. Shift the motor towards the pump to the point where the belt
can be easily removed and installed.
4. Remove and replace belt. NOTE: The belt must be centered
over the grooves on the flywheel and motor pulley.
5. Shift the motor back to the point where the correct deflection
exists (see "Drive Belt Tension Adjustment").
6. Retighten the motor mounting bolts to 130-180 in.-lbs.
7. Check to ensure that the tension remained correct.
8. Reinstall the belt guard. All moving parts must be guarded.

TO REPLACE OR CLEAN CHECK VALVE

WARNING:
automatically. ALWAYS shut off the compressor,
remove the plug from the outlet, and bleed all
pressure from the system before servicing the
compressor, and when the compressor is not in use.
Do not use the unit with the shrouds or belt guard
removed. Serious injury could occur from contact
with moving parts.
1. Turn air compressor off,
remove the power cord
from the outlet or lock
out the power supply
and relieve all the air
pressure from the tank
Fig. 9
(refer to "Shutdown" in
Operating Instructions).
Make sure the
compressor has cooled
down before servicing.
2. Using the appropriately
sized wrench, loosen the
compression nuts
(A) on the check valve
(B) and pump head (C).
Remove the transfer
tube (D).
3. Remove the bleeder tube (E) from the elbow (F) located on
the side of the check valve by gently pulling it off the barbed
end.
4. Making note of the orientation for reassembly, unscrew the
check valve from the tank (counterclockwise) using a 7/8"
open end wrench.
5. Using a pencil or screwdriver, carefully
push the valve disc up and down. If the
valve disc does not move freely up and
down, the check valve needs to be
cleaned or replaced.
6. Clean the check valve with warm soapy
water and make sure to dry thoroughly
before reinstalling. If the disc valve still
does not move freely up and down, it will
need to be replaced.
7. Apply thread sealant to the check valve
threads and reinstall into the tank by
turning clockwise. Make sure it is the
same orientation as when it was
removed.
8. Replace the bleeder tube by pushing it back onto the barbed
fitting of the elbow.
