3.5 Normally an air strainer is not required. In
dirty environments, use of a #40 mesh
Y-strainer is recommended.
WARNING
Recheck all connections for a tight fit.
Fill the air system tank. The 56 Series starter is
now ready to operate.
4.0 STARTER OPERATION
The maximum operating pressure limit is the
inlet pressure when measured at the starter
inlet pressure check port and reflects all
supply air pipe and valving losses. In order to
check the starter inlet pressure, a %" NPT
pipe tap connection is provided in the inlet
housing to attach a pressure gauge; refer to
Figures 1 and 2. IN NO CASE Should INLET
OPERATING PRESSURE EXCEED 10.3
BAR (150 PSIG).
WARNING
Do not operate the TDI Turbostart 56 Series
air starter with air pressure greater than the
pressure rating on the nameplate. This
pressure is to be measured at the starter
-inlet while the starter is running.
The static supply pressure will always be
higher than the operating pressure. As a
guideline, the maximum pressure limit (proof
pressure) that the 56 Series air starter may
be subjected to is
600 PSIG (41.4 Bar).
System pressure that exceeds the maximum
operating limit must use a pressure reducer
device to ensure that the operating pressure
limit to the 56 Series air starter is maintained.
System pressure that exceeds the 600 PSIG
(41.4 Bar) limit must, in addition to a
pressure reducer device, incorporate a
pressure relief valve, set below 600 PSIG
(41.4 Bar), in the supply air line.
All appropriate local pressure codes
and
pressure limitations on other system
components must be adhered to and would
supersede the guidelines given in this manual.
4.1 Follow the engine manufacturer's instructions
for starting the engine.
4.2 If a start is aborted before a successful
engine start, a restart may be attempted after
the starter turbine and engine have come to
rest. Refer to the Engine Operator's Manual if
the system continues to shut down before a
successful start.
4.3 If an Automatic Trip Valve (ATV) is used and
the ATV happens to trip before a successful
engine start, a restart may be attempted after
the starter turbine and engine flywheel have
come to rest. If the ATV continues to trip, it
indicates that the supply line pressure is too
high. Refer to the Operator's Trouble
Shooting Guide, Section 6.0.
4.4 If the starter fails to function properly when
first operated, or its performance deteriorates
with use, refer to the Operator's Trouble
Shooting Guide, Section 6.0. If you cannot
solve the problem, or repair is necessary,
contact your local TDI Turbostart distributor
or dealer.
4.5 Gearbox housing lubricant should be
checked every six months. Lubricant should
flow out of the oil level check port when the
plug is removed. If lubricant needs to be
added, remove the gearbox housing oil fill
plug / stand pipe and add lubricant until it
starts to flow from the oil level check port;
refer to Section 3.2.
