Putting into Operation

7.1

Points to be Observed before Putting into Operation

Every compressor package is given a test run at the factory and carefully inspected before
shipment. The test run confirms that the package conforms to the specification data and
runs perfectly. However, the compressor package could be damaged during transport. For
this reason, we recommend that the package be examined for possible shipping damage.
It is recommended that an operator observe the compressor package carefully during the
first hours of operation for any possible malfunction.
Attention!

Points to be Observed before Starting the Compressor Unit

 Remove all packaging materials, tools and transport securing devices on and in the
compressor package.
-
The operator is expected to practice safe working techniques and to follow all recom-
mended operating and safety regulations when operating this compressor package.
-
The operator of this compressor package is responsible for its safe operating condi-
tion.
-
Do not operate this compressor package in locations where high dust conditions, poi-
sonous, or inflammable gases could exist.
-
Do not connect the compressor package to a supply voltage other than that stated on
the nameplate.
-
Do not install the compressor package in a location subject to freezing temperatures.
The air temperature requirements at the air intake must be complied with (see

Initial Start
Important functional components in the compressor package (such as
minimum pressure check valve, safety relief valve, inlet valve and com-
bination valve) are adjusted and fitted to factory standards and specifi-
cations. Alterations to these components are not allowed without prior
written authorization with the manufacturer.
Do not disassemble the minimum pressure check valve, safety relief
valve, inlet valve and v-- belt tensioning devices. They are heavily
spring loaded.
Disassembly by unqualifed personnel may result in personal injury or
equipment damage.
ANY NON -- OBSERVANCE OF THIS OR OTHER REFERENCES (WARN-
ING; ATTENTION; DANGER ) CAN LEAD TO ACCIDENTS CAUSING IN-
JURY TO PERSONS OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT.
If a power failure occurs, the compressor package will start again
automatically (normal setting) when the power is restored provided the
system pressure is lower than the cut-- in pressure entered in the
SIGMA CONTROL.
Do not operate the compressor with open maintenance doors or with
cover panels removed as personnel could be injured by rotating parts
and electrical equipment.
