7：INITIAL START UP PROCEDURE
Do not attempt to operate the air compressor unit without first checking the oil level in the
pump，add oil as required。Serious damage may result from use without oil。
7-1
：
：Check to see that nuts and bolts are all snug，this must be down，as some fasteners may
become loose in transit。
7-2：Check to see if the belt is installed properly，with proper tension。
7-3：Check belt tightness so that when pressure is applied at the center，there is 1/2” slack。
7-4：Check that proper type and level oil is correct，see page for proper compressor lubrication。
7-5：Check that compressor is fixed on a strong、stable level base。
7-6：Check that oil breather is clean。
7-7：Check that air filter is clean。
7-8：Do not place any materials on or against the belt guard，or the compressor unit itself。
Placing materials there will limit the cooling of the air compressor and could lead to
premature failure。
7-9：Turn the compressor “on” momentarily by positioning the fused disconnected in the
“on” position。
Ensure that the flywheel is turning in the correct direction。On compressors with three
phase power，adjust the wiring at the motor terminals if the rotation is incorrect。Refer to
the wiring diagram on or in the motor terminal box。
7-10：Open the air receiver outlet ball valve and start the unit。Ensure air is escaping
to atmosphere。
Allow the unit to operate for a minimum of twenty minutes in this no load condition
to lubricate bearings and piston。
7-11
：
：After running the compressor for twenty minutes，close the ball valve，and allow the
unit to reach maximum operating pressure。Ensure that the compressor shuts down
at the preset maximum pressure，and the head pressure is released through
pressure switch。
7-12：Check the air compressor and piping systems for leakages，and correct as required。
7-13：Shut off of all power to the air compressor before attempting any repair or maintenance，
7-14：Stop the compressor，an
d check the oil level in the crankcase。Add oil as required。
