Checkoil level in the crankcase before each use. The oil
level should be even with the top of the fill hole and must
not be allowed to be lower than %" from the top at any
time. It is recommended that the oil in the base (51) be
changed after every 100 hours of operation. Todrain the
oil, remove the oil drain plug (50) and collect the oil in &
suitable container. Be sure to replace the plug securely
before adding new oil. Use a special compressor oil,
such as Sears 30-16426 or SAE 20-20W SF motor oil
(crankcase oil capacity is 16 fluid ounces). Under
extreme winter conditions use 10 weight oil.
Location of Air Compressor
Locate the unit in a dry, clean, cool and well ventilated
area. The compressor crankcase and head are de-
signed with fins which allow for proper cooling. Clean or
blow off fins and any other parts of the compressor that
collect dust or dirt. A clean compressor runs cooler and
provides longer service. Do not place rags, containers
or other material on or against the belt guard which
would obstruct ventilation openings necessary for
proper compressor operating temperature, tf humidity is
high, a Sears air filter and separate adapter can be
attached to the regulator (46) on the manifold to re-
move excess moisture.

Water should be drained from the air tank periodically
depending on where and how often the outfit has been
used. If humidity is high, drain more often, To drain the
water that has gathered in the air tank, open drain cock
valve (41, page 10) and allow to drain. When empty,
close the valve tightly before operating the compressor.
Note
If drain cock valve is clogged, release air
pressure in the air tank and then remove.
Clean and reinstall the valve.
Replacing Belt
SERIOUS INJURY OR DAMAGE MAY
OCCUR tF PARTS OF THE BODY OR LOOSE
ITEMS GET CAUGHT tN MOVING PARTS.
NEVER OPERATE THE OUTFIT WITH THE
BELT GUARD REMOVED. THE BELT
GUARD SHOULD BE REMOVED OHL"
WHEN THE POWER CORD iS
DISCONNECTED.
The motor is mounted on an adjustable motor base. By
loosening the wing nut (25), the motor can be tilted in to
allow for easy tightening or removal of the belt (73).
To replace belt:
1. Unplug unit from power source before repairing.
2. Remove screws (1) from the back of the belt guard.
Remove belt guard (2).
3. Loosen wing nut (25) and tilt motor in.
4. Remove belt and replace with new.
.5.
Note
The belt should be centered over the grooves
on the flywheel and motor pulley.
Push the motor back into regular position and tighten
wing nut securely by hand. Proper tension is approx-
imately V4' belt deflection measured midway be-
tween the pulley and flywheel when a 3 pound weight
or equivalent finger pressure is applied at this point.
A loose belt will squeal at unit start-up.
6. Replace belt guard (2) and screws (1).
