Operation(Continued)
RECOMMENDEDBREAK-INPERIOD
Thecompressorshouldberun
continuouslyforonehourtoallow
properseatingofthepistonrings.
1. Opendrainvalvecompletelyand
runthecompressorfor60minutes
(SeeFigure6).
2. Turnoffthecompressorandclose
drainvalve.Thecompressorisnow
readyforuse.
Ifthecompressorisrununderhumid
conditionsforshortperiodsoftime,the
humiditywillcondenseinthecrankcase
andcausetheoiltolookcreamy.Oil
contaminatedbycondensedwaterwill
notprovideadequatelubricationand
mustbechangedimmediately.Using
contaminatedoilwilldamagebearings,
pistons,cylindersandringsandisnot
coveredunderwarranty.Toavoidwater
condensationintheoil,periodically
runthecompressorwithtankpressure
near150psifortwo-stagecompressors
or120psiforsinglestagecompressors
byopeningthedrainvalveoranair
valveconnectedtothetankorhose.
Runthepumpforanhouratatimeat
leastonceaweekormoreoftenifthe
condensationreoccurs.
IMPORTANT:Changeoilafterfirst50
hoursofoperation.
PRESSURESWITCH,START-STOP
NOTE:Thiscompressorhasamaximum
operatingpressureof175PSIfor
two-stagecompressorsor135PSI
forsinglestagecompressors.Donot
alterpressuresettingsoncontrol
componentsabovethislimit.
Thecompressorunitstartsandstops
basedonpresetpressureswitch
settings.Thepressureswitchcontains
anunloaderwhichisasmallvalvethat
ventsairtoallowthemotortostart
easily(SeeFigure7).
CONTINUOUSRUNOPERATION
Toconverttocontinuousrunoperation
aseparateunloadingdevicemustbe
installedbytheuserbetweenthepump
andthetank.Theexistingcheckvalve
mustberemoved.
CRANKCASEBREATHER
Duringsevereoperatingconditionsor
initialstart-up,someoilmayaccumulate
atthecrankcasebreatheropening.This
isnormalandwilldiminishasthepump
accumulatesruntimeandthepiston
