STARTING AND USING THE COMPRESSOR
1. CFP9D
NOTE: For first time operation, disconnect the air hose from the air outlet and
proceed as follows:
1.
Start the engine, according to the instructions contained in the engine service
manual, and allow to run for 10 minutes.
2.
After a ten minute period, stop the
engine and attach an air hose to
the air outlet and the tool.
3.
Screw the pressure regulator fully
anticlockwise, then restart the
engine and allow presure to build
up in the receiver.
Screw the pressure regulator
clockwise until the pressure,
registered on the Pressure Gauge,
is 100psi.
At this point, check the system for
air leaks. If any are apparent, stop
the engine and operate the tool
until the air pressure is at zero, or
open the drain cocks before
rectifying.
4.
With the engine running, turn the pressure regulator so that your desired
pressure is registered on the gauge, and proceed to use the air tool in
accordance with the manufacturers instructions.
When starting subsequently, start the machine as follows:
1.
At the begining of the day, open the drain cock (see Fig.1) and allow any
condensate to drain completely, then close the cock.
2.
Connect the air hose to the air outlet and tool, and set the pressure regulator
to zero pressure (turned fully anticlockwise).
3.
Start the engine in accordance with the instructions contained in the engine
service manual, and allow pressure to build up.
4.
When the pressure in the receiver has built up and air blows off at the bleed
hole, turn the outlet pressure regulator clockwise so that the desired pressure is
registered on the pressure gauge and proceed to use the air tool/spray gun.
5.
Check for air leaks at the tool and connectors...as above, before proceeding.

NOTE: Air will blow off at the bleed hole
when the pressure reaches 100psi,
which is the MAX. operating pressure.
Unusual noise from
compressor.
Bolts loose.
Flywheel loose.
Unit installed on an unsuitable
base.
Bearings, piston rings or cylinder
worn.
Valve broken.
Compressor
becomes too hot.
Check, clean/replace.
Insufficient ventilation.
Oil level too low (check 2 or 3
times after stopping).
Fault in valves (machine not
stopping).
Not fully unloading
(PP9ND)
Non-return valve partly blocked.
Clean cooling fins and suction
filter.
Blown head gasket (machine
not stopping).
Dirt on cooling fins or suction
filter.
Unit working at too high a
pressure.
Reset to correct working pressure
on Load Genie
Check pressure unloading genie,
adjust if necessary, check
valve(s).
Clean or thaw out non return
valve.
Use a larger capacity
compressor
See that sufficient air is supplied to
flywheel or fan of compressor and
that hot air is properly vented.
Fill with oil – see Page 10.
Tighten bolts.
Tighten flywheel.
Move unit to a more solid base.
Check and replace gasket.
Replace worn parts or change
compressor pump.
Change valve parts.

overworked and running
continuously.
