1.
Check line voltage. Verify that the compressor motor corresponds with these specifications.
2.
Check the electrical motor nameplate to verify the compliance with the available power and electrical
supply.
3.
Check tightness of all electrical connections including those in the electrical panel of the compressor.
4.
At start up, check the direction of rotation to insure that flywheel rotates to the direction of the arrow
on it. Although a few minutes of operation in the wrong direction of rotation will not seriously
damage the compressor, it will cause serious damages on the compressor if it runs in this position for
a long time as the cooling air flow will be reversed, the compressor cylinders cannot be cooled down
and the oil pump will not pump oil, the compressors will run without lubrication.
Check starter and max. load for conformity with the motor power and current data.
1.9.5 Wiring
It is important to select the right size and capacity wire and fuses. Install an isolation switch with magnetic
protection and a capacity of three times bigger than the motor full load current on the wall.
1.10 Storage
If the compressor will not be working for a long time for any reason and stored idle during this time, it is
suggested to do the following steps before putting it out of reach in order to keep it in good condition:
1.
Drain the oil in crankcase. To prevent oxidization, entire inside of crankcase should be applied with a
protective oil. To reach inner surfaces, remove valve heads and pour some protective oil towards
cylinders. Valve heads also should be applied with a protective oil. Crankcase should be filled with a
protective oil and compressor should run for about 10 minutes. Compressor should be applied with a
protective oil until next start up.
2.
Remove the intake filter.
3.
Close all the valves and put a cap onto the intake port against the dust and fumes may enter.
4.
The compressor should be stored in a dry, safe and sheltered indoor place.
Note
IF THE COMPRESSOR WILL NOT BE WORKING BUT STORED FOR A LONG TIME
AND YOU CAN NOT DO PRECAUTIONS MENTIONED ABOVE, YOU NEED TO
OPERATE THE COMPRESSOR AT LEAST TWICE A MONTH FOR 1 HOUR TO
LUBRICATE INNER PARTS. IN FAILURE TO DO SO, THE OXIDIZATION MAY
ARISE ON THE INNER PARTS AND CAUSE TROUBLE FOR THE OPERATOR AND
COMPRESSOR DURING NEXT START-UP.
Note
IF THE COMPRESSOR WILL NOT BE WORKING BUT STORED FOR A LONG TIME;
PURIFIER CARTRIDGE WHICH IS TAKEN OUT SHOULD BE COMPLETELY
EMPTIED, INNER SURFACE SHOULD BE CLEANED AND DRIED BY BLOWING
AIR. IN FAILURE TO DO SO, MAY CAUSE THE PURIFIER CARTRIDGE GET
PARTIALLY CONSUMED AND EVEN WASTED.
