Stationary Air Compressor
Maintenance
Do not attempt to
tamper with this
valve. This valve should be checked
occasionally. If air leaks after the ring
has been released, or the valve is stuck
and cannot be actuated by the ring, the
safety valve must be replaced.
2. With motor OFF and unplugged,
clean debris from motor, flywheel,
tank, air lines and pump cooling fins.
DRIVE BELT
Belts will stretch in normal use. Properly
adjusted, a 5-pound force applied to
the belt between the motor pulley and
the pump will deflect the belt about
1/2"(See Figure 9).
1/2" Deflection

TO ADJUST DRIVE BELT:
1. Remove belt guard.
2. Loosen the four fasteners holding
the motor to the baseplate.
3. Shift the motor in the proper
direction. The belt must be properly
aligned when adjustment is made.
