Quick Start Guide
Note this manual is for the US type configuration with 115V or 230V 60Hz supplies. For
230V 50Hz units, please refer to the appropriate manual.
SAFETY NOTICE!
•
Read the User Manual before using the compressor
•
Disconnect the power and depressurize the filter housing before removing the housing
•
The compressor should not be run continuously for more than 45 minutes after which it needs
15 minutes rest.
Prior to operation
•
Verify the plug meets local codes, and that the electrical outlet is able to supply the required
current at the required voltage.
•
Place the compressor on a flat stable surface or solid surface. Keep a safe distance from wall.
A pitch of up to 20
°
from Horizontal is permissible.
•
Check the oil level is at the mid point of the dipstick or higher, and if necessary top off the
oil.
•
For the first time it is operated, run the compressor for 5 minutes with the condensate drains
open.
•
Connect the pressure vessel.
•
Close the output fill valve if present, or the valve on the pressure vessel.
Running the compressor
•
Turn on Compressor.
•
Residual high pressure within the compressor may prevent the motor (either gas or electric)
from turning over. If so, open condensate drain valves or output fill valve and vent some of
the residual pressure.
•
For the first time it is operated or after an extended period of non-operation, run the compres-
sor for 5 minutes with the condensate drains or output open.
•
Insure both condensate screws are closed
•
Once output pressure rises to1500 psi (100 bar), slowly open the fill valve.
•
Drain the condensate every 15 to 25 minutes while operating by opening the final and inter-
mediate drain screws briefly until the accumulated condensate is released.
•
Supervise compressor during filling.
Finish filling
•
Turn off the compressor
•
Close the filling valve
•
Slowly open the bleed screws on the filling hose (if so configured) until the pressure within
the fill hose is released, then the pressure vessel can be removed.
•
Open final Condensate screw slowly, capture condensate and dispose of accordingly. Repeat
for intermediate Condensate Drain.
•
If the compressor will be out of use for an extended period, run the compressor with both
condensate fill valves open for a minimum of 1 minute.
