6.1 Decommissioning of plant
This section contains instructions you need to follow when
decommissioning the compressor for an extended
period of
time, and when subsequently returning it to operation.
When decommissioning for an extended period of time, prepare
the unit as follows:
Step
Activity
1
A qualified electrician should disconnect the
compressor from power supply and lock off isolator
to ensure it can not be restarted by accident.
2
Check oil level and fill if necessary (see
Chapter 5.5 "Checking oil level") The unit
should be stored with its oil tank filled to the
max. recommended level
3
Slacken the V-belt (see Chapter 5.11
“Tensioning and changing of belt”).
Do not cover the
unit with any material that
is impermeable to air. Doing so intensifies the
corrosion of individual parts.
