Before starting, check the oil level in accordance with step 5 of this table.
2
Switch on the voltage.

Open air outlet valve (2).

Push the start button (6) and the motor starts running.
On compressors with a star-delta starter, the drive motor switches over from star to
delta 4 seconds after starting.
The maximum number of motor starts must be limited to 10 per hour.
It is strongly recommended to operate the compressor with a load factor of more than
10% to avoid condensate in the oil.

Regularly check the oil level. 10 to 15 minutes after stopping, the oil should be visible
through the sight glass (SG).
If the oil level is too low, stop the compressor, depressurise the oil system by
unscrewing oil filler plug (FC) one turn and wait a few minutes. Remove the plug and top
up the oil, until the sight glass is 3/4 full. Do not overfill. Fit and tighten plug (FC).
