Post Installation Checklist
WARNING!
Failure to perform the post installation checklist may result in mechanical
failure, property damage, serious injury or even death.
Steps 1 through 9 should be performed prior to connecting the unit to a power source. If any
condition on the checklist is not satisfied, make the necessary adjustments or corrections
before starting the compressor.
1. Remove all installation tools from the compressor and check for installation debris.
Abrasive dust can seriously damage the air intake and belt assemblies.
2. All FS Curtis compressors are shipped from the factory filled with the required amount of
Curtis Lube Plus Compressor Lubricant specially formulated for Curtis Compressors. The
oil level should register in the center of the oil sight glass or between the high and low
marks on the dipstick. For additional lubricant contact your authorized Curtis distributor.
Failure to use authorized lubricant will void the manufacturer’s warranty.
3. Check inlet-piping installation.
4. Check all pressure connections for tightness.
5. Make sure all pressure relief valves in the air distribution are correctly installed.
6. Make sure all guards are in place and securely mounted.
7. Open all manual shutoff valves at and beyond the compressor and tank discharges.
8. Check and tighten all connections (mechanical and electrical) as they may have loosened
during shipment.
9. After all the above conditions have been satisfied, the unit can be connected to the proper
power source.
