4.3 INITIAL START-UP
PROCEDURE
The compressor has been factory-tested and
its air and hydraulic valves have been
adjusted to their specified operating settings.
Refer to procedure below
for all unit checks
to perform before initial start-up:
1. Position the compressor on a level
surface so that proper amounts of
liquid can be added if necessary.
2. Unit should be securely bolted down.
3. Ensure all hose connections are
tight, and wiring connections are
correct and tight.
4. Check compressor oil level and add
if necessary.
• Check and refill oil to proper level.
5. Ensure hydraulic oil to pump inlet,
and prime if necessary.
6. Make sure service valve on
compressor is closed.
7. Engage hydraulic system (PTO or
hydraulic supply), and allow
hydraulic oil to circulate back to tank.
Oil should quickly circulate to the
hydraulic motor on the compressor,
and start producing air.
8. Check for leaks.
9. Check pressure and temperature
gauges. Readings should be within
the operating ranges specified in
Table 2A
(found in
Section 2
,
Specifications
).
10. Partially open service valve to load
compressor and allow to warm up.
Monitor the temperature gauge for
ideal operating temperature, which
should be between 165°F and
190°F.
11. Cycle compressor on/off with
service valve to ensure proper
operation.
12. Close the service valve.
13. Disengage hydraulic system;
compressor ceases to produce air.
14. Make sure all foam is gone from
sightglass prior to opening fill port.
15. Allow air to vent to atmosphere.
Check compressor oil level and add
if necessary. Check and correct any
leaks, tighten any loose fittings and
check drive belt tension.
4.4 ROUTINE START-UP
PROCEDURE
1. Check compressor oil level and add
if necessary.
2. Close the air service valve.
3. Engage hydraulic system (PTO or
hydraulic supply). This will activate
the compressor.
4. Allow machine to warm up for
several minutes before operating.
WARNING
DO NOT remove caps, plugs and/or other
components when compressor is running
or pressurized. Stop compressor and de-
pressurize system prior to maintenance of
system. Relieve the entire system pressure
by opening the air tank drain/vent valve,
which will vent all pressure to the
atmosphere.
Wear personal protective equipment such
as gloves, work boots, and eye and hearing
protection as required for the task at hand.
WARNING
Do not rely on hoses to hold the module in
position.
IMPORTANT
Pressure settings are pre-set at the
factory—DO NOT manually attempt to
adjust the pressure regulator. Consult the
factory if pressure readings deviate from
the specified pressure rating range.
