Compressor’s long period storage
In case the compressor is intended to stay out of operation for more than three months, special procedure
should be followed for the storage as well as for its re-operation:
Make sure it is stored in a closed, dry, dust-free place.
Run the compressor at normal pressure for 10-15 minutes.
Check filters, hose connections and safety valves for leaks.
Tighten all connections, if necessary.
Open manual drain valves and run the compressor without pressure for 5 minutes.
Stop the compressor, drain well and shut all valves.
Open filters and put special grease used in the food industry or Vaseline on all threads. Filter elements
should normally be in their place.
Let the compressor cool down.
Start the compressor and spray some compressor oil (5-6 c.c.) in the suction while in operation.
Do not let the compressor heat up, stop its operation.
Close all valves.
Wrap the inlet air filter with nylon.
Cover the compressor with a plastic cover to keep the dust out.
Re-Operation of the compressor after a long period of storage
Remove the nylon and place a new inlet air filter.
Follow the procedure related to the first start of the unit.
Run the compressor functioning at normal pressure for 5-10 minutes.
