Test operation

Operation

• Preparation

3. Check that the electric power source and ground have been firmly connected.
4. Make sure all pressure connections are tight.

• Operation and check pressure increase

  1. Switch the electric source breaker on.
  2. Be sure the pressure increases when the compressor starts.
  3. Check that the compressor operates without excessive vibration, unusual noises or leaks.

• Check maximum control pressure
  Operate the unit while the ball valve of the air receiver is closed. Be sure the compressor stops at the pressure shown below. Voltage| Max. pressure (psi)
  ---|---
  208V| 100
  230V| 115

• Stop
  Turn off unit to stop the compressor. Afterthe test operation ends, open the stop valve of the air outlet

Maintenance and inspection

Carry out the following maintenance and inspection items according to the schedule below.
This interval is based on conditions where ambient temperature is at around 86°F. If your location is warmer or running condition is severe, maintain at a shorter period. During warmer conditions,shorten the period approximately 30 % from our recommendation at every 9°F. The maintenance time differs from guarantee period.

Pump-Motor Assembly maintenance standards
Inspect and check operational hours or number of years, whichever comes first.
