Air Compressor Pump Safety Precautions

1.Use proper size motor and motor pulley. This air compressor Pump must be installed with a 3 HP electric motor and pulley (both not supplied) which can turn the Air Compressor Belt Wheel (35) at approximately 1050 rpm, but not more than 1200 rpm.

2.Install motor, pully belt and pully belt cover securely. Be sure to use the proper size bolts to install your motor (not included). The belt and belt cover (not included) must be strong enough to prevent breaking and possible injury.

3.Be sure all equipment is rated to the appropriate capacity of this pump.

Make sure that the lowest rated piece of equipment you are using can handle the maximum pressure of the Air Compressor Pump (see Specifications).

4.Avoid explosions and fire. Never place flammable objects near the compressor. Never spray water or any flammable liquids towards the compressor.

5.Avoid bodily injury. Never direct the air outlet at any person or animal.

6.Use Safety Guard for Pulleys. The Air Compressor Belt Wheel (35), V-belt (not supplied), and motor pulley (not supplied) must be covered by a safety guard (not supplied) covering all moving elements before operation.

7.Avoid burns. The Cylinder (12), Cylinder Head (5) and Air Outlet (6) become very hot during operation. Do not touch.

8.Industrial Applications. If used in an industrial applications, you must follow OSHA requirements.

9.Properly fill Air Compressor Pump oil reservoir before operating. Fill the oil reservoir with a premium quality, 30-weight, non-detergent oil before operating. Check oil level through the Oil Level Window before each use.

Installation

Note: Depending on your level of expertise, you may wish to have a qualified technician perform this installation.

Caution: Avoid damage to the Air Compressor Pump and other equipment. Make sure the mounting surface for the Air Compressor Pump is installed on a flat and level surface, strong enough to support the pump and motor.

1.Place the Air Compressor Pump on the mounting surface at the same level as the 3 HP motor used to drive it. The 14-?? inch V-groove Belt Wheel (35) of the Air Compressor Pump must be in perfect alignment with the motor pulley (not included).

2.Verify that the BeltWheel (35) turns freely where it overhangs the mounting surface.

3.Place the V-groove belts (not included) over the Belt Wheel (35) and motor pulley.

4.Pull Compressor Pump until properly aligned, and the belt is tight. Recheck motor pulley, V-groove belt, and Belt Wheel alignment.

5.Use a pencil to mark through the Air Compressor Pump mounting holes onto the mounting surface.

6.Move the Air Compressor Pump and drill four 3/8 inch holes in the mounting surface.

7.Move the Air Compressor Pump back to its mounting position.

8.Secure each corner of the base with a 3/8 inch diameter bolt, washer, lock washer, and nut (all not supplied).

9.Make final alignment and belt tightness adjustments from the motor. It may be necessary to loosen the motor mounting bolts to adjust the motor location. To test the proper tension on the V-belts, press down on the belts, they should not depress more than 1/2 inch at mid-point.Tighten all mounting hardware.

10.Mount the motor (not supplied) as recommended by the motor manufacturer. Be sure that the motor is securely mounted.

11.Connect plumbing hardware (not supplied) from the male ????? - 14 tpi Air Outlet

(6) to the air destination (i.e., air pressure tank, not supplied).

12.Install a safety guard (not supplied) that surrounds the motor pulley, V-belts, and Belt Wheel (35). This safety guard must cover all sides of the moving belts and pulleys. It should have a clearance of about one inch from the moving parts.The safety guard must be sturdy enough to prevent injury.

Note: A qualified electrician must wire in a pressure switch control that turns off the motor when the pump reaches the desired pressure (less than 140 PSI).

Note: Always install this Air Compressor Pump to an air tank that has a pressure release valve set at less than 140 PSI.

Note: A high/low cut-in/cut-out switch (not included) can be incorporated to operate a motor starter or motor contractor for semi-automatic control of air pressure in the vessel.

Warning: Avoid serious injuries. Do not operate this Air Compressor Pump without the Safety Guard in place.

3.Allow Air Compressor Pump to cool down after each hour of use.

4.Turn off the power switch to the drive motor when finished using the Air Compressor Pump. Do not leave on if the compressed air is not being used.

Maintenance

Caution: Remove power from the drive motor before attempting any maintenance on the Air Compressor Pump.

1.Before each use, verify that the oil level is at the proper level as viewed through the Oil Window (22).

2.Periodically check V-belts for proper tension.

3.Periodically remove Air Filter (4) and blow clean with compressed air. If it is dark in color and will not blow clean, replace the filter.

4.If the oil appears dirty, open the Oil Filler Cap (44), and remove the Oil Drain Bolt (24), capturing the oil in a suitable container. Dispose of the used oil in accordance with local regulations. Replace the Oil Drain Bolt, and refill as discussed in item 12 above.
