1. Rewire motor per data plate on
motor or instruction sheet.
2. Check electric rating of magnetic
starter and replace thermal overload
elements or magnetic starter as
required. The voltage and amperage
ratings are listed on the motor
nameplate.
DIRECTION OF ROTATION
NOTE: Improper rotation will result in
reduced unit life.
The direction of rotation must be
counterclockwise (as shown by the
arrow on the flywheel) while facing the
flywheel side of the pump. The motor
nameplate will show wiring information
for counterclockwise rotation.
The proper direction is very
important. The direction of rotation
of 3 phase motors can be reversed by
interchanging any two motor-line leads.
For single phase motors, refer to the
motor nameplate
IMPORTANT: Check motor rotation
before operating the compressor.

Operation
All lubricated compressor pumps
discharge some condensed water
and oil with the compressed air.
Install appropriate water/oil removal
equipment and controls as necessary for
the intended application.
oil removal equipment may result in
damage to machinery or workpiece.
GUARDING
The belt guard provided
must be installed before
operating the unit.
All moving parts must be guarded.
All electrical covers must be installed
before turning on the power.
LUBRICATION
operating compressor, fill crankcase
with compressor oil according to the oil
capacity chart listed in "Replacement
Parts Manual."
Some residual oil may still be in the
pump leaving a thin coat on the sight
glass, however; there is not enough
oil to operate the unit. Add oil only

be used. Both are available at your local
Grainger branch.
