Operation
5.1
Routine operation
Before starting the compressor, check the fluid level in
the separator tube. If sight glass is not completely full,
add the required amount of fluid to bring it to its proper
level. Frequent addition of fluid indicates the presence of
a leak or a condition causing excessive fluid consump-
tion. See the
under “Excessive compressor fluid consumption” for a
probable cause and corrective action.
After a routine start, observe the controller display for the
proper indications for this phase of operation. After the
compressor has warmed up, check all compressor oper-
ation indications to ensure that it is running properly.
WARNING
High pressure hazard
Removing caps, plugs, and/or other components
when compressor is running or pressurized
could result in death or serious injury.
Do not
remove caps, plugs, and/or other com-
ponents when compressor is running or pressur-
ized. Stop compressor and relieve all internal
pressure before removing caps, plugs, and/or
other components.
