Operating the PREDATAIR
Startup
1. If installed inside a cabinet or enclosure, open the door or cover
completely and secure in the open position to provide proper
ventilation. Refer to the installation manual for instructions on
installing a wiring interlock to prevent operation when the door or
cover is closed.
2. Open the hydraulic shut-off valve (if equipped).
3. Check the compressor oil level at the sight glass in the tank and
the hydraulic oil level in the hydraulic system tank.
4. Turn on power to the PREDATAIR.
5. Engage the hydraulic system.
6. Start the PREDATAIR with the “ON” switch on the display box.
7. Watch the display for system status information.
8. If a cold climate kit (A700146) is installed, it will automatically
activate in cold weather.
What to Expect at Startup
1. The green light on the display box will illuminate.
2. If the temperature is below -13°F (-25°C) the green light will
slowly blink and the display will read “HYD OIL TOO COLD”. The
hydraulic oil must be preheated before the cold climate kit will
activate.
If the temperature is between -13°F (-25°C) and 5°F (-15°C) the
green light will slowly blink and the display will read “HYD OIL
WARMING, HYD XXXF/XXXC”.
if a cold climate kit is installed it will energize to speed warm-
up of the hydraulic oil
if the system has been wired for two-speed operation, the
engine will idle up after 10 seconds to speed warm-up of the
hydraulic oil
Once the temperature of the hydraulic oil is above 5°F (-15°C),
the cold climate kit will turn off and the idle will drop and startup
will proceed normally. The display will indicate this with “SOFT
START XXC”.
