SECTION 3. OPERATION
GENERAL
Each compressor is bench tested under load at the
factory to ensure proper break-in and operation.
While it is not necessary to follow any break-in
procedure, the following checks should be made
before putting the unit into service, as well as,
periodically during use.
Before start-up:
1. Check the oil level in the compressor
crankcase with the dipstick on the unit. If oil is
needed, use only IMT’s synthetic compressor oil.
2. Check the air intake filter pads on each head
to make certain that they are clean and
unobstructed. Dirty filters are a possible cause of
reduced air output. Bi-weekly checks of air
filters is recommended.
OPERATION
The system will function automatically. It will
engage the compressor clutch when the air receiver
tank pressure is below 90 psi, and disengage the
clutch when the air pressure reaches 130 psi.
CAUTION
OPERATING THIS UNIT IN EXCESS OF 1400 RPM,
WILL VOID THE WARRANTY, AND WILL SHORTEN THE
NORMAL SERVICE LIFE OF THE COMPRESSOR.
