SAFETY GUIDELINES - DEFINITIONS Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert and knowing how your compressor works. Read this manual to understand this compressor.
When installing or moving the compressor WARNING 6. A minimum clearance of 18 inches between the compressor and a wall is required because objects could obstruct airflow. This compressor is extremely top heavy. The compressor must be bolted to the floor with vibration pads before operating to prevent equipment damage, injury or death. Do Not tighten bolts completely as this may cause stress to the tank welds. Chart 1a. 7.
Follow the safety precautions for electrical connections 1. Follow all local electrical and safety codes, as well as the National Electric Code (NEC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA). 3. Protect wires from contact with sharp objects. CAUTION 2. Wiring and fuses should follow electrical codes, current capacity and be properly grounded. All electrical connections should be made by a qualified electrician. Plan ahead to protect your eyes, hands, face and ears Dress for safety 1.
Spraying precautions WARNING 1. Do Not spray in the vicinity of open flames or other places where a spark can cause ignition. Do Not smoke when spraying paint, insecticides, or other flammable substances. Never point a spray gun at yourself or any other person or animal. Accidental discharge may result in serious injury. Reduce the risk of dangerous environment Be informed about the materials you use 1.

STARTING THE COMPRESSOR STARTING THE COMPRESSOR Operate the compressor for a few minutes unloaded (air system open) then allow the compressor to pump up. Make sure the electrical pressure switch properly switches off the compressor according to the setting desired. 175 for Two Stage. (135 psi - Single Stage or 165 psi - RCP-561VNS) Prior to actually running the compressor, check the following items: Crankcase oil - Make sure the sight glass shows ½ full or slightly above.
Cold Start Procedure (Gasoline Engine Units) Warning: Do Not Operate Gasoline Engine Units in an Enclosed Area · Release any remaining tank pressure by slowly opening the manual drain valve. · Turn on the engine gasoline supply. · Put the choke in the “On” position · Close the service valve and put Unloader lever in the “unload” (A) position for Briggs and Stratton and Honda engine driven models, or the “load” (B) position for Kohler engine models.
QP Compressors You have purchased a state of the art BelAire QP compressor. The QP comes equipped with sound attenuating enclosure. For maintenance, the canopy and side foam pieces will need to be removed. To remove the canopy, simply remove the 6 fasteners and lift the canopy straight up and off. QP and Elite Compressors BelAire ELITE and QP models come equipped with low oil level switches and automatic tank drains. The QP models also include protection against over-heating.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Low discharge pressure 1. Compressor too small for application 2. Air leaks 3. Restricted intake air 4. Blown gasket(s) 5. Broken or misaligned valves 1. Reduce air demand or use a compressor with more air capacity. 2. Listen for air leaks. Apply a soap solution to all fittings and connections. Bubbles will form at points of leakage. Tighten or replace fittings or connections. 3. Clean or replace air filter. 4. Replace necessary gaskets. 5.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE (Continued) Pressure switch unloader constantly leaking air 1. Malfunctioning check valve Pressure switch not unloading 1. Malfunctioning pressure switch 1. Replace check valve if unloader bleeds constantly. ! 1. Replace pressure switch if it does not release air pressure briefly when unit shuts off. ! Excessive vibration 1. Improper installation 2. Loose belts 3. Misaligned flywheel or drive pulley Overheating 1. Compressor too small for application 2.
