J150 COMPRESSOR

Installation and Operation

Manual

Installation Check List

Mount the compressor as shown, with both feet

either underneath or on the side. The mounting plate
should be flat and strong enough to support 120 lbs.
For air circulation, there must be an 8" x 8” hole in

the center of the mounting plate or 1” spacer blocks
under the mounting feet.
The long capscrews (35mm) should be used on the

feet. Tighten to 26 ft. lbs.
Rotation of the machine

Rotation of the machine

Rotation of the machine is shown by the arrow on

the body between the suction and delivery port.

- Arrow points to suction port. -
Mount the machine so that the rotation matches the

PTO rotation. To change rotation, remove cowls,
switch drive flange/yoke to other end of compressor,
and replace the cowls.
Do not force end yokes or drive flange onto the

compressor or PTO shaft.
Use a tube type balanced PTO drive shaft, parallel

with the PTO output shaft axis within 2° to ensure
vibration-free running. The maximum driveline angle
is 10°.
A 30 or 36psi relief valve should be mounted 12”-24”

from the compressor discharge with valve outlet
away from machine and filter inlet.
The air filter should be mounted in an

upright

position at least 12” from compressor inlet, with free
access to element and away from exhaust fumes
and road spray. For tractor mount, we recommend
above frame rails behind the cab.
Suction (1½” I.D.) and delivery pipework (1½” I.D.,

1” I.D. minimum) should be free of weld beads or
foreign material and supported by brackets. Do not
contaminate the inside of the piping with Teflon tape
or pipe dope thread sealer.
If pipework runs to the opposite frame rail, it must

have a flexible section to prevent distortion of the
compressor.
Install discharge filter (p/n 713031200, M202 or

equivalent) with minimal restriction, to prevent
compressor overheating.
A 3-way ball valve (1”) should be installed into

delivery pipework to bleed air and control system
pressure. The ball valve should be installed prior to
Chicago fitting to manually isolate the compressor
from the trailer.
A liquid-filled pressure gauge is recommended in the

delivery pipework for ease of operation and system
troubleshooting.
The operating speeds are:

• 1000 -1800rpm for J150
• For optimum performance 1200-1400rpm is
recommended.
Calculate engine speed using the PTO ratio.
A constant speed governor or throttle control system

is recommended.
Check compressor speed with tachometer to ensure

proper operation.
Post engine speed in cab on label provided.
