14. SCHMIDT BELT-TIGHTENING DEVICE (FOR GAS UNITS ONLY) Every ROLAIR
portable air compressor has a unique system for maintaining proper belt tension. Simply loosen the 1/2"
locknuts (only until washers beneath spin freely) that secure the engine and rotate the fine thread bolt
located on the wheel end of the base plate clockwise until the desired belt tension is achieved. (See
drawing in section on operating instructions for proper tension) Re-tighten 1/2" locknuts to secure engine
and maintain desired belt tension setting.
15. VIBRATION DAMPENER(S)
are very important to the proper operation of the air compressor. They provide protection from vibration
that left unchecked could cause damage to many system components.
16. ENGINE KILL SWITCH
throttle lever (as described in the Honda owner's manual) when stopping the engine. The engine throttle
lever is factory set and locked down at a top RPM setting that will provide maximum performance and
service life for the complete air compressor system. The kill switch must be moved to the "On" position
prior to pulling the recoil rope assembly to start the engine.
17. ENGINE CHOKE Moving the choke lever completely to the left (closed position) will help start a cold
engine. Also see instructions for cold-start valve (Item #13). After start up, the choke lever must be moved
completely to the right (open position) for the engine to operate properly. Fouling of spark plug and
excessive internal carbon build up will occur if engine is operated with choke lever even partially closed.
18. FUEL SHUT-OFF VALVE
(completely to the right) when the engine is being operated. Always stop the flow of fuel by moving the
shut-off valve completely to the left when the engine is not being operated. Do not move or transport the
air compressor with the fuel valve in the open position.
Read the owner's manual thoroughly. Make sure that you completely understand all of the safety
warnings, system controls and instructions provided before attempting to operate this air compressor.
Every effort has been made to provide you with the information needed to obtain many years of reliable and
trouble-free service out of your new air compressor. It is your responsibility to operate the air compressor
properly. To obtain the longest possible service life from your air compressor you must always keep the
following instructions in mind.
1. ALWAYS OPERATE THE COMPRESSOR IN A LEVEL POSITION
All splash-lubricated pumps have a dipper on the bottom of the connecting rod that must remain
submerged in the oil bath. Operation at more than a 10 degree angle will cause the pump to seize and
void the product warranty
2. OPERATE IN A CLEAN, DRY AND WELL VENTILATED AREA
Allow at least 18" behind the belt guard for proper cooling of pump from flywheel blast. Do not operate
in the rain or in areas of standing water. Never operate in an area where other gases, fumes or vapors
are present which may become explosive when compressed. Do not operate compressor in an enclosed
area.
3. CHECK OIL LEVEL DAILY AND CHANGE AT REGULAR INTERVALS
Refer to the maintenance section of this owner's manual for the correct type/weight of oil to use and
how often the oil should be changed. Check oil levels daily.
4. INSPECT/CLEAN/CHANGE INTAKE ELEMENTS ON A REGULAR BASIS
The ingestion of dirt into the pump and engine is the primary cause of premature wear. Pay special
attention to the intake filters. Check intake filters daily.
