3.1 Lubricant recommendations
The oil grade will be selected according to the ambient
temperature under which the compressor will be operated.
Between . . . . . . -10°C & 30°C SAE 15 W 40
Below . . . . . . . . -10°C . . . . . .SAE 10 W 40
Above . . . . . . . 30°C . . . . . . .SAE 15 W 50
An oil change must be performed after 10 h of working.
Denial of this item will void the warranty.
With the above recommanded oil, oil change is reques-
ted every 300 working hours or 6 month.
Blackmer recommends the use of BSC oil for the opera-
tion of its screw compressors. Using BSC allow an
increase of the time between oil change to 1 year or 500
working hours.
Blackmer offers an extra year of warranty if only BSC oil
is used inside its compressors.
3.2 Before start-up - Filling of Lubricant
Our package are delivered without oil. The use of a com-
pressor with an oil level that is not located between the
two limits indicated by the gauge can lead to important
property damage and serious injuries.
The filling of the oil tank must be made so that the level
is comprised between the minimum and maximum mark
of the gage. For information, the tank size is approxima-
tely 5 liters for TYPHON. Please note that the oil level is
checked after fully tigh-tening the gauge on the filling
tube.
3.3 Start-up procedure
The compressor must be started with the discharge valves
open.
When it is started for the first time, check the compres-
sor rotation direction (clockwise direction for an observer
facing the compressor shaft). Also check rotation speed
(refer to § 1.2. and 1.3).
The compressor shall be started without any counter-
pressure at discharge.
At commissioning, check that the combinations of rota-
tion speed and discharge pressure of the compressors
are in conformity with those indicated in §1.2.
During operation, the temperature of the surface of a
compressor and nearby parts can be in the region of
200°C. The compressor and the parts located nearby are
thus susceptible of provoking serious burns and property
damage. Be careful to not approach elements that are
sensitive to heat and affix plates informing users that the
compressor is hot, in order to prevent any risks of burns.
A transparent self-adhesive label sticker on which
instructions of use are indicated is provided with the
compressor. It should be stamped on the windshield and
filled with the proper information for the driver to know
how to operate properly the package.
3.4 COMPRESSOR START UP PROCEDURE -
Vehicle Mounted
STEP 1
BEFORE starting compressor, open all air valves neces-
sary to vent the tank and compressor to atmosphere.
Verify there is no possibility of operating at pressure
before compressor reaches correct speed.
STEP 2
Start the engine and run will standard speed.
Depress clutch and engage the PTO.
Release the clutch SLOWLY.
Set engine speed to give the correct compressor speed.
