3.6.5 Primary
Starting
If the compressor package has a built in electric pre-lube pump, oil pressure
builds up automatically before the compressor starts. If there is no electric
prelube pump, a priming pump must be used to prime the compressor
lubrication system before initial start up eg. at time of commissioning. If the
compressor has been shut down for an extended period, the lubrication system
should be primed when restarting.
If the compressor package is supplied without a built in electric pre-lube pump,
a priming pump is supplied as part of the special tools kit.
