SERVICE AIR PIPING

Service air piping should be installed as shown in
Figure 4-1. A shut-off valve should be installed to
isolate a compressor from the service line if required.
Also notice that the service line should be equipped
with water legs and condensate drains throughout
the system.
4.4 COUPLING ALIGNMENT
CHECK
In preparation for the factory test, the coupling
supplied with your compressor is properly aligned for
operation. After the compressor package has been
mounted to a foundation, it is necessary to recheck
the coupling alignment. Refer to Coupling Alignment
procedure explained in the Maintenance section of
this manual.

FLUID LEVEL CHECK

The air compressor is also supplied with the proper
amount of fluid. However, it is necessary to check the
fluid level at installation. The level is checked by
looking at the sight glass located near the sump. If
the sump is properly filled, the fluid level should be
visible in the upper sight glass.
When the oil level falls below the center of the lower
sight glass, fluid must be added.

DO NOT overfill.
Motor rotation check must be made at com-
pressor start-up. Remove compressor
panel as needed to view motor rotation.
After the electrical wiring has been done, it
is necessary to check the direction of the
motor rotation.
4.6
After the electrical wiring has been done, it is
necessary to check the direction of the motor
rotation. With the control system in MANUAL mode,
press the
bump start the compressor. When looking at the
motor from the end opposite the compressor unit, the
shaft should be turning clockwise on all gear driven
models, and counterclockwise on direct drive
models.
If the motor shaft is not turning in the proper
direction, lockout out all power sources to the
compressor and exchange any two of the three
power input leads, then recheck rotation. A "Direction
