5.3 INITIAL START-UP PROCEDURE
The following procedure should be used to make
the initial start-up of the compressor:
1. Read the preceding pages of this manual thor-
oughly.

described in the Installation Section have been
made.
3. Crack open the shut off valve to the service line.
4. Start the compressor by pushing the START but-
ton.
5. Check for possible leaks in piping.

cooling system or installation environment
should be checked.

nance indicators.
9. Open shut-off valve to service line.
10. Reinspect the compressor for temperature and
leaks the following day.
