9. Run the compressor through a number of load / unload cycles (bleed
air from the plant system, if necessary) and check for consistent
operation, any leaks (air or oil), and stabilisation of the operating
temperature as indicated in Section 3.3 - Operating Temperature.
10. Ensure that the compressor runs smoothly and that no excessive
vibration is evident. Should the compressor show any excessive
vibration, shut it down and contact Champion Compressors Customer
Care Division immediately.
6.3 Subsequent Start-Up Procedure
1. If the compressor has been unused for a period of two months or
more, perform the checks listed in Section 5.8 - Mechanical Checks.
2. Check that the correct oil level is visible in the oil sight glass. Top up if
necessary (refer Section 8.6.1 - Oil Level). Warning: Allow two
minutes for the oil level to settle and internal pressure to vent prior to
opening the filler plug.
3. Drain any moisture from the system air receiver.
4. If a system isolating gate valve is fitted to the service line, ensure it is
fully open.
5. Press the Start button. The electronic controller may delay the
compressor start to allow system pressure to reduce (refer Section
6.1.2 - Start Inhibits - Pressure and Temperature).
6.4 Shut Down Procedure
Warning: Never assume that the compressor has completely stopped, even
if the compressor does not appear to be running. The compressor may have
stopped in Standby mode and may restart at any time. Do not remove covers
or attempt any service without first ensuring the compressor is isolated from
the mains power supply and is suitably tagged.
To shut the compressor down, simply press the Stop button. The compressor
will begin a delayed stop sequence, indicated on the electronic controller
display by the status text line “STOP RUN ON” along with the remaining time
in seconds until compressor stop. The compressor will stop automatically
after the delayed stop period.
If during the stop delay period the Start button is pressed, the Stop Run-On
Timer function is cancelled, and the compressor will run normally loaded /
unloaded as necessitated by system pressure.
