SECTION 6 - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
SETTING-UP
•
Place the unit in an open, well-ventilated
area. Position as level as possible. The
design of these units permits a 15 degree
limit on out-of-level operation.
•
When the unit is to be operated out-of-
level, it is important to have the compressor
oil level gauge show no more than mid-scale
(with the unit running at full load). Do not
overfill either the engine crankcase or the
compressor lubricating oil system.

Notes:
1. All airends are to be primed with oil before
the first start of the unit. The prime oil
quantity is part of the total fill quantity of the
unit.
The priming of single stage airends can be
done by either of the two following methods:
A) Disconnect main oil supply hose that
goes from the oil filter outlet to the airend
and inject oil directly into this hose to the
airend.
B) Disconnect the separator tank scavenge
hose that leads to the oil filter and inject
oil into the filter.
2. The chart shows minimum fill requirements.
3.
–HR2: Disconnect the hose going to the seal
and inject 7 gallons (26L) into the manifold
tubing.
--HR2.5: Remove cap on manifold tube
between pump and filter and inject 7 gallons
(26L) into the manifold tubing.
BEFORE STARTING
Do not connect the air discharge on this unit into a
common header with any other unit of any
description, or any other source of compressed air,
without first making sure a check valve is used
between the header and the unit. If this unit is
connected in parallel with another unit of higher
discharge pressure and capacity, a safety hazard
could occur in a back-flow condition.
Safety valve setting is 250 psig (1724 kPa).
Assure external air system is safe under all
operating conditions to prevent serious hazard to
operations personnel.
Unrestricted air flow from a hose will result in a
whipping motion of the hose which can cause
severe injury or death. A safety device must
be attached to the hose at the source of supply
to reduce pressure in case of hose failure or
other sudden pressure release. Reference:
OSHA regulation 29 CFR Section 1926.302 (b).
•
Open manual blow-down valve to ensure
pressure is relieved in receiver separator
system. Close valve in order to build up full
air pressure and ensure proper oil circulation.
•
Check the compressor lubricating oil
level. The proper oil level is mid-way on the
sight gauge. Add oil if the level falls to the
bottom of the sight gauge. Do not overfill.
This machine produces loud noise. Extended
exposure to loud noise can cause hearing loss.
Wear hearing protection when valve(s) are
open.
Always operate this equipment with all enclosure
panels installed to avoid recirculation of hot air.
