Guidelines

Locate runaways from the main header close to the point of application.
Take air off the top of the header to prevent carryover of condensed

moisture to tools.
Slope piping so that it drains toward a drop leg or moisture trap away

from the compressor.

Operation

Every Compressed Air Systems LLC compressor has been operated

and thoroughly tested at the factory prior to shipment. The test assures

that the compressor will deliver its rated capacity and is in good working

order. However, there is the possibility that damage may occur in

shipping. For this reason, it is recommended that the unit be carefully

inspected for evidence of damage or malfunction before installation

and during the first hours of operation

Preparation for Initial Start-Up

1. Pull the main disconnect switch and ensure that there is no power

to the unit.

2. Review the installation instructions to see that everything is complete.

3. Inspect for visible signs of damage that could have happened during

shipment or installation.

4. Make certain protective coverings required for shipment or painting

are removed from the compressor.

5. Fill the sump to the proper oil level. Do not overfill, if it is, drain to

proper level. Tighten the fill cap securely.

6. Reconnect the main disconnect.

7. Refer to control section and check out panel components.

8. “Jog” the motor (press start and stop in quick succession) and check

for the correct direction of rotation. Reverse LS1 and L2 connections

if incorrect

9. Start the unit and run for several minutes, then shutdown. Check the

oil level and add, if necessary, to compensate for filling the system.
