MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED)
Intercooler
Intercooler fins are sharp, always wear gloves and use care when you clean
or work near the intercooler.
Weekly, check the intercooler to be sure all fittings are secure and tight. Clean all dirt, dust and other
accumulations from the intercooler fins.
Components
Turn off all power and clean the cylinder head, motor, fan blades, air lines, intercooler and tank on a monthly
basis.
Belts
Lock out and tag the power then release all pressure from the tank to prevent unexpected
movement of the unit.
Check belt tension every 3 months. Adjust belt tension to allow 3/8 inch to 1/2 inch deflection with normal thumb
pressure. Also, align belts using a straight edge against the face of the flywheel and touching the rim on both
sides of the face. The belts should be parallel to this straight edge (see Figure 12). Dimension A should be the
same as B and C to ensure proper alignment of the belts.
Slots in the bed-plate allow for sliding the motor back and forth to adjust belt tension.
