4. OPERATING PROCEDURE
IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT ALL PERSONS USING, OPERATING OR MAIN-
TAINING THIS AFTERCOOLER BE FULLY TRAINED AND COMPETENT TO
DO SO, AND HAVE READ THE ENTIRE OPERATING MANUAL. GMP CAN-
NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR MISUSE OF THIS EQUIPMENT.
4.1
Refer to section 5.1 for pre-usage checks.
4.2
Connect the air supply hose from the Air compressor to the aftercooler inlet us-
ing the cam and groove quick action release hose couplings, check that all the
cam and groove air hose couplings are fully locked, and the securing clips are
fitted before pressurizing the air hoses. The inlet connection on the aftercooler
from the compressor is marked
input
(an arrow gives the direction of com-
pressed air flow). The hose should be laid out as straight as possible to avoid
problems when pressurized. Note: Do not unlock the hose cam couplings while
the Aftercooler is pressurized.
4.3
Connect the air supply hose from the Aftercooler outlet to the cable Blowing Ma-
chine inlet using the cam and groove quick action release hose couplings, check
that all the cam and groove air hose couplings are fully locked, and the securing
clips are fitted before pressurizing the air hoses. The outlet connection on the
aftercooler to the blowing Machine is marked with
output
, (an arrow gives the
direction of compressed air flow). The hose should be laid out as straight as
possible to avoid problems when pressurized. Note do not unlock the hose cam
couplings while the Aftercooler is pressurized.
4.4
With the compressor running at a pressure not exceeding 12 BAR (175 P.S.I.) in
a safe condition, make sure that the pressure gauge on the filter-lubricator is
reading 7 BAR (100 P.S.I.) If it is not, adjust the knob on top of the regulator.
The regulator can be locked into position by raising the knob after adjustment.
For maximum reliability the 7 BAR (100 P.S.I.) setting should be maintained dur-
ing the blowing operation. Refer to the operator manual supplied with the air mo-
tor for further details.
