Prior to Starting
Caution!
Provisions should be made to have the
instruction manual readily available
to the operator and maintenance
personnel. If, for any reason, any parts
of the manual become illegible or if
the manual is lost, have it replaced
immediately. The instruction manual
should be read periodically to refresh
one’s memory. This may prevent a
serious accident.
Before starting the compressor, review
Sections II and III of this manual. Be certain
that all installation requirements have
been met and that the purpose and use of
the controls are thoroughly understood.
Before placing the compressor into
operation, do the following:
• Remove all loose items and tools from
around the compressor.
• Check fluid level in the air/fluid
reservoir. See Compressor Fluid
Section.
• Check the fan and fan mounting for
tightness.
• Manually rotate the compressor through
enough revolutions to be certain there
are no mechanical interferences.
• Check all pressure connections for
tightness.
• Check to make sure all relief valves are
in place.
• Check to make sure all panels and
guards are in place and securely
mounted.
• Check fuses, circuit breakers and
thermal overloads for proper size.
• Close the main power disconnect
switch and jog the starter switch button
to check the rotational direction of the
compressor.
• Check the fan rotation.
• Check for proper belt tension.
