MAINTENANCE (CONTINUED)
Drive Belt
Belt stretch is a result of normal use. When properly adjusted,
the belt deflects about 1/2 inch with five pounds of pressure
applied midway between the engine pulley and pump.
To adjust drive belt tension:
1. Remove belt guard and loosen engine brace.
2. Loosen the four fasteners holding the engine to the
baseplate.
3. Shift the engine in the proper direction. The belt must be
properly aligned when adjustment is made.
4. To align belt, lay a straight edge against the face of the
flywheel, touching the rim at two places.
5. Adjust flywheel or engine pulley so that the belt runs
parallel to the straight edge.
6. Use a gear puller to move the pulley on the shaft and
tighten fasteners.
7. Adjust brace and reinstall belt guard.
Storage
1. When not in use, hose and compressor should be stored
in a cool, dry place.
2. Tanks should be drained of moisture.
3. Hose should be disconnected and hung with open ends
down to allow any moisture to drain.
Moisture in compressed air will form into droplets as it comes from an air compressor 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
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 in the air line, located as near to
