14
Possible Cause(s)
1. Damage to the compressor
2. Loose fasteners
3. Loose flywheel or pulley
4. Improper installation
1. Break in period
2. Wrong type of oil
3. Improper environment
Rotation incorrect
Corrective Action
1. Check to make sure the compressor has not been damaged
in the shipping or installation. Make sure the belt guard was
not damaged. Belt guard should not be making contact with
flywheel or pulley
2. Check all bolts and nuts to assure they did not loosen during
shipping
3. Check to assure pulley and flywheel are correctly tightened
4. If unit is left on skid it may cause excessive vibration. Remove
unit from skid and mount loosely to floor with vibration pads
and anchor bolts. Do not tighten bolts tight. Leave nut loose
approximately 1/8 inch from compressor foot
1. Some oil in the exhaust air is normal during the break-in
period and during heavy usage after the break-in period. Oil
discharge should reduce as hours are accumulated on the unit
2. Do not use SAE-30 automotive type oil. Using the wrong oil
can cause problems with the pump and will void the warranty.
Only use the oils that the operating manual recommends (see
Lubrication section)
3. Unit should not be installed in a poorly vented area or exposed
to extreme cold or hot conditions. Normal operating range
should be between 32°F and 100°F
Check to make sure the compressor is running the direction of the
flywheel arrow. Air flow should be so that the flywheel directs air
across the head of the pump. Standing in front of the compressor
(non-belt guard side) air should flow back to front
