If power supply cable is to be replaced, only use cable of the same type.
• The compressor needs to be earth effectively.
OPERATION
All compressor units are tested prior to delivery to the customer, so after correct installation of the unit there
should be no problem putting it into operation.
• Prior to first operation, read the instruction manual carefully. Make sure that all persons handling the
compressor and the filling station are familiar with the function of all controls and monitors.
• After a standstill period of 2 years or more, compressor oil need to be change before taking the unit into
operation. When mineral oil is used, oil change is needed for every year.
• Prior to first operation or operation subsequent to repair work, operate unit for at least 5 minutes with open
condensate valves (pressure-less state) to ensure proper lubrication of all parts before pressure is built up.
• Prior to each operation, check the compressor oil level and determine whether maintenance is necessary.
• Every time the unit is started up, check all systems for proper operation. If any malfunction is observed, stop unit
immediately and find the cause for the fault or contact the customer service.
• For three phase current motor units, immediately after switching on the system for the first time, check the
direction of rotation of the motor for compliance with the arrow on the unit. It motor turns in the wrong
direction, the phases are not connected properly. Shut down unit immediately and interchange two of the three
phase leads in the switch box. Never change leads at the motor terminal board.
• For the petrol engine units,
o Check engine oil level.
o Check fuel tank. Top up if necessary.
o Open fuel shut-off valve
• Close condensate drain valves and run unit to final pressure. Check final pressure safety valve and pressure
gauge.
• As soon as final pressure is reached and final pressure safety valve blows off, open condensate drain valves and
drain condensate – unit is ready for filling operation.
Do not tamper with the safety valve, as it will result in serious damage and guarantee of the
compressor will be voided.
