PLC screen. This means the pump is 
operating and the compressor is 
building pressure. 

5.

 

Monitor display panel for normal 
readings such as amp draw and 
voltage. Push OFF button if there are 
any abnormal sounds  vibration or oil 
leakage. 

6.

 

Check that oil exhaust temperature is 
maintained between 160˚ - 190˚ F  
(70˚ - 88˚ C).  Cooling fan cycles as 
needed to cool oil temperature. 

7.

 

After OFF button is pressed, the 
motor continues to run for approx. 
10-15 seconds and blow-down valve 
automatically  discharges pressure 
from air/oil separator  tank.  This is 
to prevent the air compressor  from 
stopping under heavy-load. 

8.

 

Record these instrument readings on 
a regular basis and retain for future 
reference: 

 

Voltage 

 

Current 

 

Air pressure 

 

Air exhaust temperature 

 

Oil level 

 

Maintenance parameter 

Power Outages 

 Once power is restored 

after a power outage the controls will show a 
“Power Fault” error.  Press the Enter button 
to reset and restart the compressor.  

Storage 

1.

 

If the machine is stopped for over 

three weeks: 

a)

 

Wrap electrical equipment such 
as the control panel with plastic 
or oil paper to avoid 
condensation. 

b)

 

 Completely drain water in the oil 
cooler, the back cooler and the 
oil/air separator tank. 

c)

 

Make sure any unsafe conditions 
are clearly stated or repaired. 

2.

 

If the machine is not run for more 
than 

two months: 

a)

 

Seal all ports to prevent moisture 
or dust accumulation. 

b)

 

Wrap safety valve & control 
panel with oil paper or an 
equivalent to avoid rust. 

c)

 

Replace lubricating oil then run 
machine for 30 minutes. Drain 
condensed water in the oil/air 
separator tank and the oil cooler 
2-3 days later. 

d)

 

Move machine to a clean, dry 
place. 

Restarting Procedure 

1.

 

Remove any wrappings from system 
components. 

2.

 

Ensure electric motor is properly 
insulated. 

3.

 

Perform initial checks then follow 
procedures for start up.

 

 

Maintenance 

Safety Steps 

 

To avoid shock and 
serious personal injury, 
disconnect, tag and lock 
out power source then 
release all pressure from 

the system before attempting to 
install, service, relocate or perform 
ANY maintenance. 
 

 

 

To avoid serious personal 
injury, when performing 
service in any enclosure 
large enough to hold a 
man, inform others then 

be sure to tag and keep open any 
access doors. Before closing and 
latching access doors, make sure 
all 

persons are 

clear from 

enclosure.
