Stationary Air Compressor
Daily
● Before each use,
1. check for any unusual noise or vibration.
2. be sure all nuts and bolts are tight.
● After each use, drain condensation from the air
tank.
Weekly
● Inspect air lters (g.6) weekly and clean or
change as needed.
● For HS05V080Y15 compressors, with the
"Whisper 100" Noise Suppression System
mounted (g.7), to access and replace silencer
lter elements:
1. Remove thumb screws from front of Silencer
2. Remove Silencer access panel
3. Remove lter wing nuts
4. Remove lter covers
5. Remove lter elements
6. Clean or change as needed.
Monthly
● Inspect air system for leaks by applying soapy
water to all joints. Tighten these joints if leaks
are discovered.

Troubleshooting
Always inspect the compressor before use, and
make sure it is in good working condition. Make
sure all air vents are clear. Check the power cable
to make sure it is intact and free from cracks, bare
wires etc. Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic
parts, most plastics are susceptible to damage from
the various types of commercial solvents.
Belt Adjustment
● Always pull the motor disconnect switch before
working on the belts so the motor cannot start
up unexpectedly.
● When belt tension is adjusted properly, the belts
can be depressed at a point midway between
the motor pulley and the ywheel approximately
one half inch. Loose belts will slip on the motor
pulley and cause excessive heating and wear. A
belt that is too tight will overload the bearings.
● Adjustments can be made by sliding the motor
along its base.
● When installing new belts, it is necessary that the
motor bolts be loosened and the motor moved
toward the compressor. The new belts can be
installed without damage or strain. Over time
belts stretch, and it is recommended that all
belts be changed at the same time.
Slow Pumping Or Insufficient Pressure
Can be caused by:
1. Clogged inlet lter (disassemble and clean
thoroughly).
2. Leaks in air lines, valves, ttings, etc. (Locate by
using soapy water if necessary; replace or tighten
threaded parts).
3. Compressor too small for equipment application.
Check air requirements vs. compressor capacity
and consult dealer.
4. Leaking head valves (remove hold-down covers
than remove valves for inspection. Repair or
replace faulty valves).
5. If the power network in the building is 208 volts,
order a 208 volt motor. If the starting voltage
is much less the 90% of the motor nameplate
voltage, the motor cannot be expected to start
and the interior building wiring must be corrected.
