Subject to EAR, ECCN EAR99 and related export control restrictions. 41
10. Stop the compressor per shutdown proce-
dure and check fluid level.
5.4 Normal start-up procedure
1. Place machine in level, suitable area and 
chock the wheels.
2. Check the compressor fluid level. Reference 
Section 4.1.
3. Verify the electrical connections are secure.
4. Turn on disconnect at machine and press the 
start button.
5. Monitor parameters on instrument panel.
5.5  Main motor heater
When the motor heater switch is in the ON position, the 
motor heater will be activated until the switch is set to 
OFF or the compressor starts.
In extremely wet environments, the motor heater should 
b
e run for 2 hours prior to start of compressor.
The heater should run for 2 hours once a month when the 
com
pressor is unused for an extended period of time. 
Additionally, the heater should be run for 2 hours prior to 
initial startup following an extended storage period.
5.6 Fan rotation switch
This switch controls the direction of rotation o the cooling 
fan. the direction should be set to FORWARD in warm 
weather. In cold weather, below 32°F (0°C), the fan can 
operate in REVERSE. This will help to prevent freezing of 
control lines as well as help to maintain the proper oper-
ating temperature of the compressor. Operating the fan in 
REVERSE d
uring warm temperatures can cause high 
operating temperatures and ultimately the shutdown of 
the compressor.
5.7 Phase/voltage fault relay
This compressor is equipped with a phase/voltage relay 
to detect incorrect phasing of incoming power or incorrect 
supply voltage. Upon initial power-up, the indicator on the 
control panel will be lit if the incoming power was con-
nected out of phase. Swap two of the cables to correct 
the p
hasing.
If the relay is tripped during operation, proper operating 
volt
age and connections should be checked prior to 
restarting compressor.
Even with the fault indicator lit upon initial power up, the 
mac
hine will attempt to start for approximately 10 sec-
onds. This is a delay feature provided to allow the com-
pressor to overcome voltage drops upon starting. If after 
10 s
econds, the voltage or phase fault is still present, the 
machine will shut down.
 CAUTION
Allow 5 minutes between starts for oil foam to 
subside and the motor to cool.
 CAUTION
The receiver tank should be drained of conden-
sate on a regular basis. The control line filter 
should be drained of condensate on a weekly 
basis.
 CAUTION
The main motor heater will be switched off once 
the motor is started.
 CAUTION
If the machine is energized and the motor heater 
switch is ON, the heater will be energized as 
long as the machine is not running and the E-
Stop is not depressed.
