Read and understand all safety warnings and instructions before operating this air compressor pump. Failure to follow these instructions may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.

Opća sigurnosna upozorenja:

• Sigurnost radnog područja: Održavajte radni prostor čistim i dobro osvijetljenim. Zatrpana ili mračna područja izazivaju nesreće.
• električna sigurnost: Ensure the power source (motor) is properly grounded and rated for the pump's requirements (e.g., 100 Volts). Do not expose the pump to rain or wet conditions.
• Lična sigurnost: Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses, hearing protection, and gloves. Do not overreach; maintain proper footing and balance at all times.
• Upotreba i njega proizvoda: Do not force the pump. Use the correct pump for your application. Disconnect the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the pump.
• Održavanje: Maintain the pump according to the instructions in this manual. Keep all guards and safety features in place and in working order.
• Vruće površine: The pump and associated components can become very hot during operation. Avoid contact with hot surfaces to prevent burns.
• Pressurized Air: Never direct compressed air at people or animals. Always wear eye protection when using compressed air.

3. Postavljanje i instalacija

Proper setup is crucial for the performance and longevity of your air compressor pump. This pump requires a separate motor (4 HP electric or 5.5 HP gas) and a single A-groove belt for operation.

Koraci instalacije:

1. Montaža: Securely mount the air compressor pump to a stable, level surface or air tank. Ensure adequate ventilation around the pump.
2. Priključak motora: Connect the appropriate 4 HP electric or 5.5 HP gas motor to the pump. Ensure the motor's horsepower rating meets or exceeds the pump's requirements.
3. Instalacija remena: Install a single A-groove belt between the motor pulley and the pump's flywheel. Ensure proper belt tension; it should be tight enough to prevent slippage but not so tight as to cause excessive strain on bearings.
4. Usis zraka: Ensure the air intake filters are clean and securely attached.
5. Punjenje ulja: Before first use, fill the crankcase with the recommended compressor oil to the proper level, indicated by the sight glass. Refer to the Maintenance section for oil specifications.
6. Električni priključak (ako je primjenjivo): If using an electric motor, ensure it is correctly wired to a 100 Volt power source and properly grounded according to local electrical codes.
7. Pressure Line Connection: Connect the 5/8-inch compression outlet to your air tank or system.

4. Uputstvo za upotrebu

Once properly installed and filled with oil, your NorthStar Air Compressor Pump is ready for operation.

Pokretanje pumpe:

1. Ensure all connections are secure and the oil level is correct.
2. Turn on the power to the motor. The pump will begin to build air pressure.
3. Monitor the pressure gauge (if connected to a tank with one) to ensure it reaches the desired operating pressure, up to a maximum of 130 PSI.

Tokom rada:

• The pump is designed for a 100% duty cycle, meaning it can run continuously.
• The V-style cylinder orientation and oversized flywheel contribute to cooler operation, but always ensure adequate airflow around the pump.
• Listen for any unusual noises or vibrations. The Low Vibration Technology (LVT) ensures smooth operation; excessive vibration may indicate an issue.

Zaustavljanje pumpe:

1. Turn off the power to the motor.
2. If connected to an air tank, drain any accumulated moisture from the tank after each use.

5. Održavanje

Regular maintenance is essential to ensure the long life and optimal performance of your NorthStar Air Compressor Pump.

Dnevno/prije svake upotrebe:

• Provjerite nivo ulja: Verify the oil level using the sight glass. Add recommended compressor oil if necessary.
• Inspect Air Filters: Ensure air intake filters are clean and free of debris. Clean or replace if clogged.
• Provjerite ima li curenja: Inspect all air lines and connections for leaks.

Mjesečno/Svakih 50 sati rada:

• Zamjena ulja: Replace the compressor oil with the recommended type.
• Pregledajte remen: Check the A-groove belt for wear, cracks, or proper tension. Adjust or replace as needed.
• Clean Cooling Fins: Ensure the cylinder cooling fins are free of dust and debris to maintain efficient cooling.

Annual/Every 200 Hours of Operation:

• Inspect Valves: Check the floating-type Swedish steel valves for wear or damage. Replace if necessary.
• Inspect Piston Rings: Verify the condition of the step-type piston rings for optimal compression.
• Check Bearings and Journals: Inspect crank journals, wrist pin journal, and needle bearings for wear. These components are replaceable for extended pump life.
• Connecting Rods: The two-piece connecting rods can be rebuilt for superior serviceability; inspect their condition.
