If the compressor will be started-up after a long time of storage, it is suggested to do the following steps
before starting filling bottles;
1.
Clean the compressor with a clean cloth.
2.
Install a new intake filter.
3.
Install the purifier cartridge which is just refilled with new chemicals inside the housing.
4.
Open the intakes which have been closed while stored against dust, fume, etc. that may enter the
compressor.
5.
Refill with new oil and check the oil level.
6.
Check if there is any leakage and sweating on the gaskets or connections.
7.
If the compressor is an Auto Drain Model, auto drain valves should be opened, cleaned and installed
back.
This is a precaution to prevent oxidization on drain valves due to remaining idle for long term and to
ensure the proper operation of drain valves.
8.
Run the compressor until warmed up, for about 10 minutes, with all the drain valves, filling valve (or
outlet valve) opened (the compressor will run against atmospheric pressure with no load).
9.
Check for leaks at the connections, fittings, safety valves etc.
10.
Put the compressor in normal service.
Not
IF THE COMPRESSOR HAS BEEN STORED WITH THE OLD OIL INSIDE, FIRST
RUN THE COMPRESSOR FOR A WHILE AND STOP IT AFTER THE OIL IS WARMED
UP, DISCHARGE THE OLD OIL AND REFILL WITH NEW OIL.
1.11 Operation
1.11.1 Initial Start-Up Procedure
Follow up the following procedures when making the initial start-up of the compressor;
1.
Make sure that you have read this manual carefully, and understand it. If you have any questions,
contact ALKIN.
2.
Make sure that all the preparations described in the installation section of this manual have been
made.
3.
Check the oil level in the crankcase.
4.
Check the pressure switch and make sure that the pressure adjustments are set at the proper start-stop
Pressures.
5.
Rotate the compressor flywheel several times by hand to see that it is free and working properly.
6.
Keep all objects such as tools, rugs, etc. away from the compressor.
7.
Check the Purifier if the cartridge is installed.
8.
Check the direction of rotation. Rotation must be in the direction of the arrow marked on the
crankcase and flywheel.
9.
Press the start button to start the compressor. Check and verify that there is no abnormal vibration,
or any abnormal sounds.
10.
Let the compressor run without producing pressure while the purifier drain valve is open for 10
minutes to observe if any abnormalities in the operation of the compressor exists. This way
lubrication of all parts will be complete.
