Pre-Operation Check Procedures
1. Verify that the maintenance schedule is up-
to-date for the unit. Proper routine maintenance
and documentation are the responsibility of the
organization using the equipment. Maintenance
must be performed in accordance with service
guidelines provided by SCOTT Safety.
2. Check the electrical power source. Ensure that the
compressor unit is connected to a suitable electrical
power supply, and that there are no maintenance
procedures in process that would necessitate a
Lock Out/Tag Out of the circuit breaker or master
switch.
3. Make sure there is nothing close to or on top
of the compressor that could interfere with air
ow. For proper operation, the minimum clearance
established at installation on all sides and above the
compressor must be maintained.
4. Make sure nothing is operating in the vicinity
of the compressor air intake which might
contaminate the fresh air supply, such as vehicle
exhaust, chimney smoke, ventilator fumes, or other
source of contamination.
5. Check the high pressure connections. Ensure
that the high pressure outlet(s) are properly
connected to a suitable high pressure air receiver.
If any connection is loose or damaged, DO NOT
start the compressor until all connections have been
properly repaired and thoroughly inspected.
6. Check the compressor oil level.
Check the compressor oil level prior to each use. To
check the oil, remove the oil ll cap and check the
oil level reading. Replenish as necessary, using only
Anderol 500 oil or XL-700 oil, available from your
local SCOTT Safety distributor.
All maintenance beyond the scope of this manual
must be performed ONLY by a SCOTT trained
and certified service technician. Unauthorized
maintenance or service without proper training can
void the warranty, lead to permanent equipment
damage, and/or serious personal injury.
Be sure that the input electrical power supply is
correct for the system to be powered. All electrical
supply wiring must be performed by a qualied
electrician and conform to the National Electric Code,
and must comply with all State and local codes and
regulations. Use of incorrect electrical power input
may permanently damage the equipment and could
cause serious injury or death to the user.
