Running and Testing the Compressor
Each compressor is carefully run and tested prior to delivery. A new compressor must
nevertheless be used with caution during the first
5
working hours so as to complete proper
breaking in of its components. If the compressor is subject to an excessive workload during
initial use, its potential efficiency will be prematurely compromised and functionality soon
reduced. During the breaking in period proceed as follows:
•
after starting up the compressor, let the compressor run un-loaded for 5-6 minutes.
(crack open a fill whip to relieve pressure)
After the first
25 hours
carry out in addition to the scheduled maintenance the following tasks:
•
change the compressor oil
•
change the oil filter
•
check and adjust nuts and bolts
When changing the oil filter, inspect the internal part and check for any deposits; if they are
present track down the cause before restarting the compressor.
