6. Check the oil level. The pointer of the level gauge (5-Fig.
3.1) should register in the green or orange range. The
bottle delivered loose with the compressor is filled with
Atlas Copco Roto-injectfluid and can be used for topping
up.
7. A sticker dealing in short with the operating instructions
and explaining the pictographs is delivered with the
literature set. Affix the sticker next to the control panel.
Make yourself familiar with the instructions and
pictographs explained.
Stick labels on an obvious place near the control panel,
warning the operator that:
- the compressor is automatically started and stopped
(see section 1.2)
- the compressor may automatically restart after voltage
failure (see section 1.3.1)
- the compressor may be remotely controlled (see section
3.1.1)
8. Switch on the voltage. Start the compressor and check the
rotation direction of the fan motor. Rotation arrows, visible
through the grating in the roof, are provided on the fan
plate. If the rotation direction is wrong, reverse two
incoming connections on the terminals of circuit breaker
(Q15-Fig. 1.10). Check the rotation direction of the drive
motor, the correct direction is indicated by arrow (11-Fig.
1.4) on the gear casing. If the rotation direction is wrong,
reverse two incoming connections on the drive motor.
9. Check the programmed settings.

10. Start the compressor and run it for a few minutes. Check
that the compressor operates normally.
3.1.1 Remote control
Consult the User manual for Elektronikon II regulators
section Configuration menu if it is desired to switch to the
remote control mode.
Attention
Consult Atlas Copco before connecting a remote start/
programmed stop button.
3.2 Before starting
- If the compressor has not run for the past 6 months, special
precautions must be taken. Improve the lubrication of the
compressor element at starting: remove the four bolts of
expander (4-Fig. 3.3) lift the expander and
pour 3/4 l of
oil into the compressor element
. Reinstall the expander.
- Check the oil level (5-Fig. 3.1). The pointer should be in
the upper field of the green range or in the HIGH range. If
the pointer registers in the LOW range, depressurize the
oil system
by pushing the emergency stop button, close
the air outlet valve and open manual drain valves (1
and 4-Fig. 1.5)
. Wait until the compressor has
depressurized. Unscrew oil filler plug (3-Fig. 3.1) only
one turn to permit any pressure in the system to escape.
Remove the filler cap and add oil until the level reaches
the filler neck. Tighten the plug.
