Checking the system 

Initial  operation,  and  also  the  switching  on  of  the 
system  after  a  longer  standstill  period  (more  than  4 
weeks)  has  a  great  influence  on  the  effective 
functioning of the rotary compressor or the compressor 
and vacuum pump. 

 We  urgently  recommend  that  you  take  sufficient  time 
for initial operation of the machine. Undue haste could 
lead  to  important  steps  being  left  out,  thus  causing 
possible damage to the machine. 

 

For  faults  caused  by  incorrect  initial 
operation,  no  guarantee  claims  can  be 
accepted 

Before initial operation 

  Check  the  machine  (transport  damage,  faulty 

assembly), 

  Check  that  the  drive  protection  and  contact 

protection on the pressure side are correct, 

  Check  the  operating  d

ata  on  the  machine’s  name 

plate, 

  Instruct the operating personnel, 

  Pass  on  instructions  for  the  operation  and 

maintenance of the machine, 

  Make  sure  that  the  rotor  shaft  can  be  turned  by 

hand. 

 

Cooling water 

Fill  cooling  water  only  to  the  highest  mark  on  the 
equalising  tank  or  cooler.  Determine  the  quantity 
according  to  the  cooler  volume  and  line  volume.  Use 
only  clean  tap  water.  Observe  the  instructions  in 

section 1.4, 

Water cooling! 

 

 

If  frost  danger  exists,  add  antifreezing 
compound 

as 

instructed 

by 

the 

manufacturer (generally 33%). 

 

Lubricating oil 

  For the oil type, see 

5.8, table of lubricating oils

 

For  the  RFW  series,  single  grade  oils  are 
prescribed.  Use  of  multigrade  oils  can  lead 
to damage to the machine. 

 

Such use also causes the guarantee liability 
of Gardner Denver to lose its validity. 

  Fill the oil reservoir to approximately 3 cm below the 

thread of the filling cap. 

  Manual pre-lubrication of the machine is necessary 

 

before initial startup 

 

before restart after a stoppage lasting 4 weeks 
or more 

 

after machine underwent excess vacuum 

 

when the danger exists that the lubricant film in 
the compres-sion chamber of the 
compressor/vacuum pump has been removed 
by components of the suction air 

  For pre-lubrication, proceed as follows: 

 

Insert hand crank (in mounting) through the 
open oil fill opening and place it onto the oil 
pump shaft. Press down on the crank until the 
driving pin snaps in. Pre-lubricate with 40 
complete revolutions of the hand crank. 

 

Return the hand crank to the mounting and 
screw on the screw plug.
