Do not attempt to operate the Unit without first checking
whether there is oil in the Oil Reservoir. Add oil as required.
Serious damage may result from use, however limited, without
oil.
Initial Start-up
1) Remove the LH Front Access Panel, and ensure
that there is sufficient Oil in the Oil Reservoir.
Refer to the ‘Lubrication’ section (page 10) in this
manual for proper type and level of Oil.
2) Do a visual inspection of the Unit, and ensure
that all fasteners are sufficiently tightened. This
must be done, as some fasteners may become
loose in transit.
Start-up Procedures
Do not place any materials in close proximity
to the Compressor. Placing materials against
or close to the Unit will limit the cooling
required, and could lead to premature failure.
3) Place the Fused Disconnect / Breaker in the ‘On’
Position. Check that there is power to the
Controller.
4) During normal operation of the Unit, keep the
Access Panels closed at all times.
5) Ensure the Ball Valve on the Unit is closed, press
the ‘Start’ Button, and run the Unit up to
maximum pressure. The Unit will run up to
approx. 120 psi (8.3bar), at which point the Motor
will continue to run but not compress air.
6) Once the Unit reaches 120 psi (8.3bar), it will idle
for 8 or 10 minutes and shut off. For VSD units,
the unit will idle for 2 minutes and shut off.
7) Open the Ball Valve slightly and allow the air to
bleed from the Tank. Once the pressure reaches
approx 100 psi (6.9bar), the Unit will start and
begin to compress air after a short delay. For
VSD units, this pressure is 10 psi below the cut-
out pressure.
8) Measure the amp draw as the Unit reaches
maximum pressure.
9) Close the Ball Valve, allow the Unit to reach
maximum pressure, idle, and shut off. Once off,
check the various fittings etc inside the Cabinet to
ensure there are no internal leaks.
10) Once you are confident that there are no internal
leaks, the Unit will be ready for normal use.
11) Register the Unit to activate the Warranty by
completing the Warranty Registration Card by
Fax.
Shut off all power to the Compressor Unit
before attempting any repair or maintenance.
Adjusting the settings of the Controller could adversely affect
the performance of the Unit. Only those individuals with
knowledge of the Unit should make any adjustments.
