Husky 60-Gallon Stationary Air Compressor C601H

Warning: This procedure should be performed by trained personnel only

Are the air compressor pump head bolts properly torqued?

Enter the torque of the head bolts in ft.-lbs.

NOTICE: Risk of property damage. Use air compressor oil only. Multi-weight automotive engine oils like 10W30 should not be use in air compressors. They leave carbon deposits on critical components, thus reducing performance and compressor life.

NOTE: Use 30W compressor oil or a heavy duty SAE 30W, non-detergent, SF grade or better oil. DO NOT use multi-weight automotive engine oils, they will reduce compressor life. Under extreme winter condition use SAE-10 weight oil.

NOTE: Crankcase oil capacity is approximately 29 fluid ounces (857,6 ml).

Check the oil level in the sight glass.

Is the oil level in the middle of the sight glass?

If needed, proceed to the next step.

Remove oil fill plug and slowly add oil until it reaches the middle of the sight glass.

NOTICE: All compressed air systems generate condensate that accumulates in any drain point (e.g., tanks, filter, aftercoolers, dryers). This condensate contains lubricating oil and/or substances which may be regulated and must be disposed of in accordance with local, state, and federal laws and regulations.

NOTICE: If drain valve is plugged, release all air pressure. The valve can then be removed, cleaned, then reinstalled.

Set the Auto/Off switch to “Off”.

Slowly bleed the air from the air tank and air distribution system until tank pressure is approximately 20 psi.

Drain water from air tank by opening drain valve on bottom of tank.

After the water has been drained, close the drain valve. The air compressor can now be stored.

WARNING: Drain tank to release air pressure before removing the oil fill cap or oil drain plug.

CAUTION: Overfilling with oil will cause premature air compressor failure. Do not overfill.

Remove the oil drain plug and drain oil into a suitable container.

Replace the oil drain plug and tighten securely.

Slowly add compressor oil until it reaches the middle of the sight glass.

NOTE: When filling the crankcase, the oil flows very slowly into the pump. If the oil is added too quickly, it will overflow and appear to be full.

Replace oil fill plug and tighten securely.

WARNING: Serious injury or damage may occur if parts of the body or loose items get caught in moving parts. Never operate the outfit with the belt guard removed. The belt guard should be removed only when the air compressor power is disconnected.

Turn air compressor off, lock out the power supply, and relieve all air pressure from the air tank.

Loosen the motor mounting screws and slide the motor toward the air compressor.

Remove the belt and replace with a new one.

See the Adjust Belt Tension before tightening motor mounting screws.
