Stationary Air Compressor System Operating Instructions
4 - Operator Maintenance Checks
Do not perform maintenance tasks beyond the scope
of this manual unless authorized as a SCOTT trained
and certied service technician. Performing service
procedures without proper training may lead to
permanent equipment damage or personal injury.
Operator Maintenance Checks
To ensure reliability of the system, the operator is
responsible for observing the unit during operation and
performing necessary maintenance checks as described
in this section. Maintenance and service procedures
beyond the scope of these instructions should ALWAYS
be performed by a SCOTT trained and certied service
technician.
Service Schedules
Maintenance and service procedures for the
Stationalry Air Compressor breathing air system must
be performed by a SCOTT trained and certified
service technician. The operator is responsible for
monitoring the compressor run time and notifying the
System Administrator when the intervals of fty (50)
and one hundred (100) hours occur. The compressor
run time and service due information is available
from the X4 Controller using the Information Button
(INFO) as described in Chapter 3, STARTING AND
OPERATING.
After every fty (50) hours of compressor running time,
the following maintenance should be performed by a
trained technician:
– Replace the Air Purier elements
– Change the break-in compressor oil (perform
subsequent oil changes every one hundred (100)
hours of compressor run time)
– Check the tightness of all major fasteners including
Head Bolts, valve retainers, mounting bolts, etc.
After every one hundred (100) hours of compressor
running time, the following maintenance should be
performed by a trained technician:
– Replace the air intake lter element
– Change the compressor oil
– Check the Auto Drain system
– Check all other auxiliary systems
The air quality produced by the LIBERTY System should
be checked regularly at the following intervals:
Every thirty (30) days:
– If installed, calibrate the Carbon Monoxide Monitor
using SCOTT Test Kit P/N AB16-0533.
Every ninety (90) days:
– Take an air sample to verify air quality meets or
exceeds CGA Grade E breathing air.
An air sample is required after installation and any service
to the system that effects the breathing air path, that is,
from the air purier lters on. For example, changing the
air lters would require taking an air sample.
Other major compressor maintenance is required at
specic time intervals depending on the make and model
of the compressor. The operator should keep the System
Administrator informed as to the total compressor run
time so these maintenance tasks can be scheduled.
The operator should perform the following checks each
time the Stationary Compressor System is used or, at a
minimum, once a week.
WITH THE SYSTEM OFF:
– Check the level of the compressor oil. Refer to the
Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for instructions
on the safe handling of any chemicals used in the
maintenance or servicing of this equipment
– Check the Belt condition and tension
– Check for loose components
– Check the Remote Air Intake for leaks
WITH THE SYSTEM RUNNING:
– Run the compressor system to operating temperature
(approximately 30 minutes) and verify operation of
the auto drain system.
NOTE
SCOTT recommends that the compressor system
should be operated for at least thirty (30) minutes
once a week to maintain optimum performance and
to identify any problems.
