14. Preparations before first use
Draining off condensate water
During transportation, condensate may form inside the air tank
because of temperature fluctuation. Each time a compressor is
installed, the condensation water must first be drained off – even
in compressors with a membrane dryer.
Procedure:
q
Check for condensate in the air receiver.
q
Switch off the compressor and reduce pressure to 1 bar
q
Place a collection container under the air receiver
q
Open the drain valve until there is no more condensate inside
the air receiver.
q
Close the drain valve again.
Installation of the manometer
The manometers must be installed as shown in picture
1
and
2
on page 10 and checked for leakage.
15. Commissioning and usage:
Automatic start-up: If the pressure in the air receiver
drops, the compressor will switch on automatically until
the maximum operational pressure of 7 bar is reached
again.
If the maximum operational pressure of 7 bar is
exceeded, the compressor power unit must be switched
off and disconnected from the mains (remove the power
plug.) Inform an authorised technician.
In the event of danger, disconnect the compressor from
the mains (remove the power plug).
The compressor has hot surfaces and may cause burns
upon contact.
