8.

System Pressure – Set the controls to the de-
sired load pressure. DO NOT EXCEED THE
MAXIMUM OPERATING PRESSURE ON THE
COMPRESSOR NAMEPLATE. See Controller
Manual 13–9/10–647.

Operation at excessive discharge air
pressure can cause personal injury or
damage to equipment.  Do not adjust
the full discharge air pressure above
the maximum stamped on the unit
nameplate.

 9.  Operating Mode – Refer to Section 4 for detailed

information on the control system.

10.  Enclosure – Check for damaged panels or doors.

Check all screws and latches for tightness.  Be
sure doors are closed and latched.

STARTING THE UNIT – Observe the following  starting
procedures.

Unit Cold – If the unit is a water–cooled heat exchang-
er model, open any manual water inlet valves wide
open.  Start the unit by pushing either the “CONSTANT
RUN” button or one of the “AUTO” buttons. Since the
unit is equipped with a minimum (65 psig, 4.5 Bars)
pressure discharge valve, no special procedure to
maintain unit reservoir pressure is required.

Unit Hot – No warm–up period is required. If the unit
is a water–cooled heat exchanger model, open any
manual water inlet valves wide open.  Start the unit by
pushing either the “CONSTANT RUN” button or one of
the “AUTO” buttons.

DAILY CHECK – Refer to Section 8, “Maintenance
Schedule,” page 48.

STOPPING THE UNIT – Press “STOP–RESET” but-
ton. The oil reservoir will automatically blow down as
the motor stops. If the unit is a water–cooled heat ex-
changer type, close any manual water inlet valves.
