Procedure

  1. 1.
  2. On the Pressure Regulator, loosen the jam nut and turn screw counterclockwise until
  3. tension is no longer felt at the screw. Then, turn screw clockwise one full turn.
  4. 2.
  5. Close service valve(s).
  6. 3.
  7. Inspect throttle arm (G) on engine governor to see the arm is resting against the governor
  8. stop. Loosen jam nut on air actuating cylinder (A) and then turn cylinder rod (D) until
  9. throttle arm (G) is forced against the governor stop.
  10. After Starting Unit
  11. 4.
  12. If equipped, push the SERVICE AIR button on the control panel, making certain the button
  13. does not pop back out. The unit should speed up and then unload (and drop back to IDLE).
  14. With the unit unloaded, turn the adjusting screw on the pressure regulator clockwise until
  15. the discharge pressure gauge indicates 125-130 psi.Tighten the pressure regulator jam
  16. nut.
  17. 5.
  18. With the service valve closed, adjust IDLE speed (*). Adjust speed using adjusting rod (D).
  19. Tighten jam nut (H).
  20. 6.
  21. Open the service valve and adjust the discharge pressure to 100 psi (700 kPa). Now
  22. turn adjusting rod (C) until the proper engine FULL speed setting (*) is reached.
  23. Tighten jam nuts (B & J).
  24. 7.
  25. To obtain maximum CFM at any pressure between 80 psi (550kPa) and maximum
  26. pressure rating (*), make adjustment at the pressure regulator to obtain desired
  27. discharge pressure at FULL engine speed. Lock adjusting screw and replace cover.
  28. * See General Data Specifications.

  45. CAUTION
  46. !
  47. Any unauthorized modification or failure to maintain this equipment may make it
  48. unsafe and out of factory warranty.
  49. If performing more than visual inspections, disconnect battery cables and open
  50. manual blowdown valve.
  51. Use extreme care to avoid contacting hot surfaces (engine exhaust manifold and
  52. piping, air receiver and air discharge piping, etc.).
  53. Never operate this machine with any guards removed.
  54. Inch and metric hardware was used in the design and assembly of this unit. Consult
  55. the parts manual for clarification of usage.
  56. NOTICE
  57. Disregard any maintenance pertaining to components not provided on your
  58. machine.
  59. General
  60. In addition to periodic inspections, many of the components in these units require periodic
  61. servicing to provide maximum output and performance. Servicing may consist of pre-operation
  62. and post-operation procedures to be performed by the operating or maintenance personnel.
  63. The primary function of preventive maintenance is to prevent failure, and consequently, the
  64. need for repair. Preventive maintenance is the easiest and the least expensive type of
  65. maintenance. Maintaining your unit and keeping it clean at all times will facilitate servicing.
  66. Scheduled Maintenance
  67. The maintenance schedule is based on normal operation of the unit. This page can be
  68. reproduced and used as a checklist by the service personnel. In the event unusual
  69. environmental operating conditions exist, the schedule should be adjusted accordingly.
  70. Compressor Oil Level
  71. Check the compressor fluid level when the machine is not operating. Maintain the fluid level
  72. between bottom and midway of the sight glass on the separator tank.
