STORAGE
Conservation / storage of the compressor
If the compressor is not to be used for an extended period of time, we recommend the follo-
wing conservation work to be carried out before the storage:
• Run the compressor at 200 bar for approx. ten minutes
• Drain warm oil and replace by new oil.
• Open filling valves and run the compressor for a few minutes.
• Stop the compressor and open the drain valves.
• Close filling valves.
• Open the final filter housing and lubricate the O-Ring with a food grade grease or silicone grease.
• Store the compressor in a cool dry place free from dust and contamination. A cover is recom-
mended as long as condensation can be avoided.
De-conservation, commissioning
After the compressor has been stored, the following steps are to be taken:
• Replace the final purification filter.
• Check oil level, replace oil if necessary. Fuel Driven Units only: Fill up fuel tank to top level to
avoid corrosion.
• Inspect the condition of the v-belts, replace if necessary
• Inspect the filling hoses visually for signs of deterioration, replace as necessary.
• Fix filling valves by e.g. cable strips to avoid whipping around wildly. Open filling valves.
• Open the filling valves and run the compressor for approx 10 minutes with the filling valves
open.
• Close the filing valves and allow the compressor to build up to working pressure.
• Check the correct safety valve setting and/or pressure switch setting (option).
• Check all connections and pipe work for leaks, retighten if necessary.
Once the above steps are completed to satisfaction, the unit is ready to use.
