1) Remove the Oil Filler Plug, and ensure
that there is Oil in the Crankcase. Refer to
the "Lubrication" section (page 8) in this
manual for proper type and level of Oil.
2) Replace the Oil Filler Plug, and use a
crescent wrench to tighten snug plus 1/4
turn.
3) Do a visual inspection of the Unit, and
ensure that all Bolt heads are sufficiently
tightened. This must be done, as some
fasteners may become loose in transit.
4) Turn the Compressor 'On' momentarily by
positioning the Fused Disconnect in the 'On'
position. Ensure that the Flywheel is turning
in the correct direction. See "Pump
Rotation" (page 10).
6) After having run the Compressor Unit for 30
minutes, close the Ball Valve, and allow the
unit to reach maximum operating pressure.
Ensure that the Compressor shuts down at
the pre-set maximum pressure, and the
head pressure is released through either
the front of the Pump (the CPR) or at the
Pressure Switch.
7) Check the Compressor and Piping Systems
for air leaks, and correct as required.
8) Stop the Compressor, and check the Oil
level in the Crankcase. Add Oil as required.
5) Open the Compressor's Ball Valve, and
start the Unit. Ensure that the air is
escaping to atmosphere. Allow the Unit to
operate in this fashion for approximately 30
minutes. This lubricates the Pistons,
Bearings, and all internal surfaces.
Initial Start-Up
Do not place any materials on or against
the Belt Guard, or the Compressor Unit as
a whole. Placing materials there will limit
the cooling of the Compressor, and could
lead to premature failure.
Shut off all power to the Air Compressor
Unit before attempting any repair or
maintenance.
On Compressors with 3 phase power,
adjust the wiring at the Motor terminals if
the rotation is incorrect. Refer to the
wiring diagram at the Motor terminal
box.
NOTE
During the first few days of operation, check the Unit periodically to ensure it is
running smoothly and the controls are operating properly. Should you notice
any areas of concern, contact your Devair Distributor or Authorized Service
Centre.
NOTE
Do not attempt to operate the Unit without first checking whether there
is Oil in the Pump. Add Oil as required. Serious damage may result
from use, however limited, without Oil.
