SECTION 3
STARTING & OPERATING PROCEDURES
PRESTART-UP INSTRUCTIONS
- A new unit as received from the factory has been tested and then prepared
for shipping only. Do not attempt to operate the unit until checked and serviced as follows:
1.
Compressor Oil
- Check the oil level in the reservoir. Add oil only if the oil level gauge reads in the
low oil level range. Do not mix different type oils. The unit is shipped filled with Gardner Denver AEON
9000 SP Lubricating Coolant which is suitable for the first 8000 hours under normal operating
conditions.
REPLACE OIL FILTER EVERY 2000 HOURS
Initial fill, or filling after a complete draining of the system, may show the oil level in
“EXCESS OIL”
range. After start-up, the oil will fall into the operating range as system components are filled. If
necessary, add oil to bring the level to the top of full range when the unit is operating at full load and
normal pressure. See Section 5, page 55.
Regular maintenance and replacement at required intervals of the oil filter, air
filter and air/oil separator is necessary to achieve maximum service and extended
drain intervals of AEON 9000 SP synthetic lubricant. Use only genuine Gardner
Denver filters designed and specified for this compressor.
Before removing the oil filler plug, always stop the unit and release air pressure,
lockout and tagout the power supply to the starter. Failure to release pressure
or properly disconnect the power may result in personal injury or death.
During unloaded operation and after shutdown, the system will partially drain back into the oil reservoir
and the oil level may read higher than when operating on load. DO NOT DRAIN OIL TO CORRECT;
on the next loaded cycle or start, oil will again fill the system and the gauge will indicate the operating
level.
2.
Air Filter
- Inspect the air filter to be sure it is clean and tightly assembled. Refer to Section 6, for
complete servicing instructions. Be sure the inlet line, if used, is tight and clean.
3.
Coupling
- Check all set screws for tightness. See Section 7, page76.
4.
Piping
-
Refer to Section 2, “Installation", and make sure piping meets all recommendations.
