2. With motor OFF and unplugged or
locked out, clean debris from motor,
flywheel, tank, air lines and pump

BELT ADJUSTMENT
A SECTION 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 6).

1. Remove belt guard.
2. Shift the motor in the proper direc-
tion. The belt must be properly
aligned when adjustment is made.
3. Adjust flywheel or motor pulley so
that the belt runs straight.
4. Attach belt guard.
STORAGE
1. When not in use, store hose and com-
pressor in a cool dry place.
2. Drain tanks of moisture and discon-
nect hose. Hang hose with open ends
down to allow any moisture to drain.
3. Protect the electrical cord from possi-
ble damage by winding the cord
loosely around the handle of the unit
or coiling the cord up.
MOISTURE IN COMPRESSED AIR
Moisture in compressed air will form into droplets as it comes from an air com-
pressor pump. When humidity is high or when a compressor is in continuous use
for an extended period of time, this moisture will collect in the tank. When using
a paint spray or sandblast gun, this water will be carried from the tank through
the hose, and out of the gun as droplets mixed with the spray material.
IMPORTANT: This condensation will cause water spots in a paint job, especially
when spraying other than water based paints. If sandblasting, it will cause the
sand to cake and clog the gun, rendering it ineffective.
A filter or air dryer in the air line, located as near to the gun as possible, will help
eliminate moisture.
