Speedaire Operating Instructions
Cast Iron Series
Maintenance (Continued)
COMPRESSOR LUBRICATION
See Operation. Add oil as required. The
oil and oil filter should be changed every
three months or after every 500 hours of
operation; whichever comes first.
AIR FILTER
Never run the compressor pump without
an intake air filter nor with a clogged
intake air filter. Use compressed air to
blow the filter clean. Do not wash or oil
the element. If it cannot be blown clean,
the filter must be replaced. Operating
compressor with a dirty filter can cause
high oil consumption and increase oil
contamination in the discharge air.
INTERCOOLER (TWO-STAGE
COMPRESSORS ONLY)
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.
Blow all dirt, dust and other accumula-
tions from the intercooler fins.

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 9).
Dimension A1 should be the same as
A2 and A3 to ensure proper alignment
of the belts.
Slots in the bed-plate make it easy to
slide the motor back and forth to
adjust belt tension.
