Operations and Maintenance Manual
Chapter 5 Page 1
Chapter 5 Operating Procedure
A Test run: startup and shutdown
1. Connect power and grounding cable, and check power supply.
2. Maintain oil level keeping it:
- Visible in the sight class for the SE20-SE30.
- Arrow in the green section of the gauge placed on the separator tank for the SE40-SE50.
3. If the initial run will be after a long period from delivery, add 0.5 quarts of CURTIS RS8000
lubricant through intake valve and rotate air end manually to prevent compressor damage from
lack of oil.
4. Check cooling system
5. A few seconds after startup press the “Emergency Stop” button and indentify the direction of
rotation. Switch any 2 of the 3 power cables if direction is not correct.
6. Press “ON” to restart the compressor.
7. Observe any warning from panel and LED lights.
8. Time relay will be activated after pressing the “OFF” button; the motor will stop automatically
after 10-15 seconds.
9. Compressed air will be released immediately after pressing the “OFF” button.
B Inspection before startup
In order to protect the compressor and increase operation efficiency it is necessary to inspect the
system prior to operation.
1. Open the ball valve below the oil tank to drain the water. Condensed water will cause bearing
damage and reduce the lifespan of the lubricant.
2. Maintain oil level keeping it:
- Visible in the sight class for the SE20-SE30.
- Arrow in the green section of the gauge placed on the separator tank for the SE40-SE50.
Please do not use lubricant other than CURTIS RS8000 for warranty purposes. Make sure the pressure is
released before refilling.
Warning: Opening the oil fill cap while pressure is not released may cause injury.
