4.0 Completing the Installation
4.1 Before Operation Checklist
Make sure that the following have been completed before operating
the PREDATAIR60 for the first time:
Check the compressor oil level. The compressor has been filled
to the correct level prior to shipping, but the oil is very clear and it
is difficult to see the level.
Check the hydraulic oil level
Do a final inspection to make sure that all fasteners and
connections are tight.
Check that all hoses and wiring are secure and protected.
4.2 After Engaging the Hydraulics Checklist
Place the truck in a safe operating position and block
the wheels. Ensure that there are no people around the
truck before beginning the test.
Make sure that the following have been completed:
□ Operate the system with an air tool for at least 1/2 hour (1 hour
preferred). If this is a new configuration or design, operate for at
least 1 hour at the expected duty cycle to confirm acceptable
CFM and temperature performance (see section 5.0 Testing
Ventilation). Check hydraulic flow to ensure that the desired
GPM is maintained.
□ Check all components once the compressor and truck engine
have been turned off and the system has cooled
□ Check the compressor and hydraulic system oil levels after the
compressor and truck engine have been shut down and the oil
level has had time to stabilize.
