Initial Power up
Post-Installation, Pre-Power up Safety Check
Before you power-up the Pneumax system:
1. Remove all tools, shop towels, hose trimmings and other debris from the compartments.
2. Check all of the unused inlets: plastic shipping caps must be removed and replaced with
the appropriate plug or cap.
3. Check all connections to tanks and discharges.
4. Check all compressor and engine fluids.
Oil used in the hydraulic system is ISO 68wt hydraulic oil. It must be "Low-
foaming" or "Anti-foam".
5. Remove the air filter plumbing and pour 8 to 16 ounces of hydraulic oil into the air inlet of
the compressor to pre-oil it.
6. Replace the air filter plumbing.
7. Fill the sump with ISO 68wt anti-foam hydraulic oil until the oil level is 1/2 way up the
sight glass. You will need to add more later, to compensate for oil that remains in the
hydraulic lines and the compressor.
Initial Power up
Warning: Do not start the engine unless the system is connected to a source of water.
The pump and compressor are operating whenever the engine is running.
Running without water will seriously damage the pump. It will also damage
the compressor.
1. Close all discharges.
2. Place the Auto Sync system in UNLOAD and AUTO (UNLOAD for electric Auto Sync)
3. Start the engine.
4. Open the tank recirculation loop (Tank Fill).
5. Turn the Auto Sync to the RUN/FIXED positions (FIXED for electric Auto Sync).
6. Verify that the oil cooler system is flowing water back to the tank.
7. Shut the engine off.
8. Allow the air pressure to bleed off, then add enough oil to the sump to bring the oil level
1/2 way up the sight glass.
DO NOT overfill. Oil used in the hydraulic system is ISO 68wt hydraulic oil. It
must be "Low-foaming" or "Anti-foam".
9. Proceed to "Verifying the Auto Sync Air Balancing System".
