LOCATION, OPERATION, BOTTLE FILLING

LOCATION

Outdoor location

The compressor unit is not seawater resis­
tant. At operation in salty air spray com­
pressor with anticorrosive protection (e. g.
Quicksilver
driven units should be operated and stored below deck.
Units with petrol engine should also be stored below
deck after the filling process.
Keep unit away from inflammable items.
Do not smoke while petrol tank is open
and while unit is in operation.
- Locate the unit level.
- On units with petrol engine it is most important that only
clean air be used, position compressor in direction of
wind so that exhaust fumes are blown away from the unit.
- Turn unit as soon as wind direction changes.
- Take care that no vehicles are in direct vicinity with en­
gines running.
- Do not operate unit in the vicinity of open fire (flue gas!).

Indoor location

Petrol driven units must not be operated
indoors.
- Ensure adequate ventilation.
- Here too, air must be free from exhaust fumes and haz­
ardous vapours (e.g. smoke, solvent vapours, etc.).
- If possible install unit in such a manner that the com­
pressor fan can get fresh air from outside, for instance
through an opening in the wall.
- Ensure that an adequate exhaust air opening is provided.
- When locating the compressor in small rooms where
natural ventilation is not ensured, measures must be
taken to provide artificial ventilation (this also applies
when other systems having high radiation are operating
in the same room).

Electrical installation

For installation of electrical equipment observe the follow­
ing:
- Comply with regulations of local electricity supply com­
pany.
- Arrange for the electrics to be connected by an electrician
only.
- Ensure correct installation of protective conductor.
Corrosion Guard). Electric
- Check conformity of motor tension and frequency with
those of electric network.
- Operate electric units only on mains sockets equipped
with fault current circuit breaker according to DIN VDE
0664 with a nominal differential current of less than 30
mA (up to 16 A in single-phase AC circuits).
- For units not connected through a plug, but permanently
installed, a main switch must be provided which has a
contact gap of minimum 3 mm on each pole.
- Fuse motor correctly; use slow-blow fuses, only.
- Immediately after start-up check direction of rotation for
agreement with arrow on unit.
If power supply cable is to be replaced, use
cable of same type, only!
- When using extension leads or cable drums, operate unit
with unwound cable, only to avoid overheating and risk
of fire. The maximum length for extension cables at nor­
mal ambient temperatures (approx. 20 °C) is 25 metres.
OPERATION

Preparation for operation

All compressor units are tested prior to de­
livery to the customer, so after correct in­
stallation of the unit there should be no
problem putting it into operation, observing the fol­
lowing points:
The compressors described in this
WARNING
manual are not suitable for com­
pression of oxygen. EXPLOSION oc­
curs if an oil lubricated compressor is operated with
pure oxygen or gases with an oxygen content of more
than 21%!
- Prior to first operation read Instruction Manual carefully.
Make sure that all persons handling the compressor and
the filling station are familiar with the function of all con­
trols and monitors. Particularly observe chapter 2
SAFETY REGULATIONS.
- After taking unit into operation after a standstill period of
2 years or more change compressor oil. When using a
mineral oil change oil after one year.
- Prior to first operation or operation subsequent to repair
work operate unit for at least 5 minutes with open con­
densate valves (pressureless) to ensure proper lubrication
of all parts before pressure is built up.
- Prior to each operation check the oil level according to
chapter 4.4.1. and determine whether maintenance is
necessary in accordance with chapter 4.3.
- Every time the unit is started up check all systems for
proper operation. If any malfunction is observed stop unit
immediately and find the cause of the fault or call the ser­
vice department.
