Long Term Storage

6.3.1 General

If the compressor unit will be out of service for more than six months, it should be preserved in accor-
dance with the following instructions:
1. Make sure that the compressor is kept indoors in a dry, dust-free room.
2. Cover the compressor with plastic sheets only if no condensation will form under the sheet.
3. Remove the sheet from time to time and clean the outside of the unit.
4. If this procedure cannot be followed, or if the compressor will be out of service for more than 24
months, please contact the BAUER Service Department for special instructions.

6.3.2 Preparations

Prior to preserving the compressor unit, it must be run until warm, i.e., up to the specified service pres-
sure. Operate the unit for approximately 10 minutes, then carry out the following checks.
1. Check all pipes, filters and valves (including safety valves) for leakage.
2. Tighten all couplings, as required.
3. After 10 minutes, open the outlet valve and operate the compressor at adjusted minimum pressure
using the pressure maintaining valve for approximately 5 minutes.
4. After the 5 minutes, shut the compressor unit down and completely drain all separators and filters.
Close all valves.
5. Remove filter heads and lubricate the threads with petroleum jelly.

6.3.2.1 Units Equipped with a Filter System

1. Ensure that cartridges remain in the purification system chambers. This will prevent oil from enter-
ing the outlet lines as a result of preservation procedures.
2. Remove the intake filter/intake pipe completely.
