For us, it’s not just business. It’s personal.
Please note that under normal conditions, the air compressor will operate intermittently. Should it be necessary to
service the air compressor ensure the power source has been shut down. This must be done to prevent personal injury
or damage to the unit.
Do not attempt to operate the air compressor unit without fi rst checking the oil level in the pump. Add oil as required.
Serious damage may result from use without oil.
MOTORS
Wiring must be done in a manner that full voltage nam/- 10% is available at the motor terminals during
startup. Use of an incorrect electric motor for your particular building service will result in premature motor failure
and is not covered by Omega Compressors or Motor manufacturer’s warranty. The warranty that exists on the electric
motor is that of the original manufacturer. In the event of a motor failure contact your Omega Distributor or Service
Centre for the location of the nearest authorized motor service centre.
PRESSURE SWITCHES
The pressure switch located on the compressor unit acts as a pilot device activating the coil on the magnetic starter
except on contractor and professional units where the pressure switch would act as a pilot device activating the motor.
The pressure switch cut in/cut out has been preset at the factory. Do not tamper with the settings. Consult your local
distributor or service centre should the switch not be operating properly.
PUMP ROTATION
The compressor is to be wired in a manner that the rotation of the fl ywheel causes the air to be blown over the pump.
This allows the pump to cool properly. When facing the nameplate side of the unit the fl ywheel must rotate clockwise
unless otherwise noted on the unit with an arrow on the belt guard or motor.
COMPRESSOR LUBRICATION
Check the oil quantity and quality before operating the compressor. Do not add or change oil while the compressor is
in operation. Use only Omega 30wt. Non-Detergent Compressor Oil.
FILLING THE OIL
1.)
Disconnect Electrical Power
2.)
Remove the oil fi ller plug.
3.)
Slowly pour the proper oil into the pump crankcase.
4.)
Always keep oil level between the marks “H” and “L” on the oil stick or on the red circle on the sight glass.
5.)
Refer to Gas Engine Owner’s Manual for fi lling of oil for gas engines.
CHANGING THE OIL
CHANGE OIL AFTER THE FIRST 100 HOURS OF COMPRESSOR OPERATION. THEN CHANGE OIL AFTER EVERY 300
WORKING HOURS OR EVERY 3 MONTHS WHICHEVER COMES FIRST.
1.)
Disconnect Electrical Power.
2.)
Remove the oil drain plug. Allow oil to drain completely.
3.)
Replace the oil drain plug. The use of a sealing compound or Tefl on tape to avoid leakage is recommended.
4.)
Refi ll with Omega 30wt. Non-Detergent Compressor Oil to the proper level.
