OPERATION
This compressor has been inspected, thoroughly tested and approved at the factory. For this unit to give
long satisfactory service it must be installed and operated properly. This compressor has been designed
for an 80%/ON
– 20%/OFF duty cycle.
R15B models are equipped with a pilot valve and head unloaders to provide continuous run capabilities.
The pilot valve acts as an automatic air switch allowing air to flow from the receiver to the head unloader
mechanism, thus actuating it. The pilot valve senses receiver pressure. When the receiver pressure
reaches the cut-out pressure setting of the pilot valve, the pilot valve opens and air is released to the
unloader mechanism. The compressor stops compressing air and runs unloaded until the cut-in pressure
setting of the pilot valve has been reached. At this time air is released from the unloader mechanism and
the compressor starts compressing again.
Initial Start Up
1.
Inspect unit for any visible signs of damage that would have occurred in shipment or during
installation.
2.
Check compressor oil level. Add oil as required. See
“Compressor Oil Specifications” Section.
NOTE
: Do not mix oil type, weights or brands.
3.
Check engine oil level. Add oil as required. Consult engine manual for oil specifications.
4.
Close receiver outlet valve.
5.
Flip toggle lever on pilot valve to the
“Manual Unload” position. See Figure 1.
Figure 1
6.
Start engine. Allow engine to warm up.
7.
Flip toggle lever on pilot valve to the
“Run” position. See Figure 1
8.
With receiver outlet valve closed, let unit pump up to operating pressure. At this point, the
automatic controls will take over. Check system pressure. Check for proper cycling operation.
9.
When the initial run period has shown no operating problems, shut unit down and recheck oil
level
10.
Open receiver outlet valve. The air compressor unit is now ready for use.
Daily Starting
1.
Check compressor and engine oil level.
2.
Drain liquid from receiver.
3.
Close receiver outlet valve.
4.
Flip toggle lever on the pilot valve to the
“Manual Unload” position. See Figure 1.
5.
Start engine. Allow engine to warm up.
6.
Flip toggle level on pilot valve to
“Run” position. See Figure 1.
7.
When unit reaches operation pressure, open receiver outlet valve.
