SHAFT COUPLING MAINTENANCE
The compressor unit and motor are rigidly connected via 
a mounting adapter housing. This arrangement makes 
coupling alignment unnecessary. The coupling is a jaw 
type in shear. If the elastomeric element requires 
replacement due to wear or breakage, order 
replacement element no. 02250152-670, and follow the 
following steps:
1. Remove the protective grill from the adapter 
housing.
2. Loosen the retaining screw located on the outer 
sleeve. Slide the sleeve to one side, exposing the 
coupling element.
3. Unwrap the coupling element from the coupling 
jaws.
4. Install the new element by wrapping it around the 
jaws, engaging the cogs on the element into the 
jaws.
5. Reinstall the outer sleeve and the protective grill.
6.9 TROUBLESHOOTING - 
INTRODUCTION
The information contained in the Troubleshooting Guide 
has been compiled from field report data and factory 
experience. It contains symptoms and usual causes for 
the described problems. However, DO NOT assume that 
these are the only problems that may occur. All available 
data concerning a problem should be systematically 
analyzed before undertaking any repairs or component 
replacement procedures.
A detailed visual inspection is worth performing for 
almost all problems and may avoid unnecessary 
additional damage to the compressor. Always remember 
to:
1. Check for loose wiring.
2. Check for damaged piping.
3. Check for parts damaged by heat or an electrical 
short circuit, usually apparent by discoloration or a 
burnt odor.
Should your problem persist after making the 
recommended check, consult your nearest Sullair 
representative.
