AIR HOSE RESTRAINT INSTALLATION
Safety devices such as hose restraints (whipchecks) must be used to
prevent hose whipping if a connection fails. Whipchecks are to be
constructed of woven stainless steel, galvanised steel wire rope or
chain with a minimum strength adequate for the supplied pressure and
hose diameter. Whipchecks must be fastened to suitable mounting
points or shackles.
The mounts and/or shackles are to be of the same or greater strength
as the whipchecks. An engineer should be consulted about suitability
of whipchecks, mounts, mounting points, shackles and fittings as well
as strength rating of materials. Whipchecks must be used at the hose
origination, termination and each hose to hose connection.
Hoses can fail in areas other than at connecting points and require
daily inspection of the hoses for:
•
Cuts, cracks or kinks
•
Weakened clamps due to rust and corrosion
•
Damaged connections
•
Deformity
•
Incorrect or incompatible components or fittings
•
Any visual damage
Hoses must be selected that are rated for the application as to the
maximum pressure and temperature to be encountered as well as
compatible with the materials being conveyed inside the hose. Hoses
must be compatible with the compressor oil.
STARTING THE MACHINE
1. Press the Main Power Button.
2. If machine is equipped with reheater option, always set the 3 way
valve to the OFF position before starting. As soon as machine goes

Engine Hours =, press and release Green Start Button
.
4. Engine will crank until engine starts or engine starting time limit is
reached. The first Green light on the Start Button will illuminate.
5. If engine fails to start, press Main Power Button
to remove
power from engine. Repeat steps 1-3.
6. When engine starts, the first two lights on the Start Button will
illuminate.
7. Wait for Engine Temperature to reach 150°F (65°C). Press Service
Air Button.
The third light on the Start Button will illuminate.
8. The compressor will start in the Low Pressure Mode and the Low
Pressure Light will be illuminated on the Low Pressure Button.
9. To change to the High Pressure Mode, press the High Pressure
Button. Three lights on the button will illuminate.
CAUTION: Do not use ether or any other starting fluid. Starting fluids
can cause an explosion, fire, and severe engine damage. The engine
is equipped with an electric heater starting aid.
NOTICE: This compressor is equipped with a battery disconnect
switch which disconnects power for long term storage. The switch is
located on the fuel tank side.
NOTICE: This switch must be in the ON position to provide power to
the Control Panel for starting the compressor.
CAUTION: To ensure an adequate flow of oil to the airend, never
allow the discharge pressure to fall below 3,4 bar.
