4.3 Operation
• The compressor must be started with the discharge
valves open.
• When it is started for the first time, check the com-
pressor rotation direction. Also check rotation speed
(refer to § T
ECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS
).
• The compressor shall be stopped without any coun-
terpressure at discharge.
• At the first start, check that the combinations of rotation
speed and discharge pressure of the compressors
are in conformity with those indicated in § T
ECHNICAL
CHARACTERISTICS
.
Before any equipment startup, it is necessary to
check the coherency between the motor rotation
direction and the compressor operating direction. A
startup with rotation in the wrong direction will lead
to irreversible property damage on the compressors
that is not covered by the guarantee.
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, to prevent any risk of burns.
4.4 Starting-up
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.
Close all valves and proceed to pressurize the tank and
discharge the cargo.
4.4.1 Start-up procedure for manual gear box
• Start the engine and run with standard speed.
• Depress clutch and engage the PTO.
• Release the clutch SLOWLY.
• Set engine speed to give the correct compressor speed.
4.4.2 Shutting down procedure for manual gear
box
• Depress the clutch and disengage the PTO.
• Reduce engine speed to idle.
ALWAYS DISENGAGE THE DRIVE BEFORE SLOWING ENGINE
DOWN.
• Release the clutch.
