Hint!
This is why and when the running in oil filters are required:
Warning!
A running in oil filter has always to be installed after an overhaul or
big repair for 100 .. 200 hours of operation!
The oil and oil filters have to be replaced by new oil and filters.
Due to running-in wear of liners and piston rings, it's normal that the
oil becomes grey during 100 .. 200 operating hours.
After 100 .. 200 operating hours, the oil could slightly become clear
again.
Danger
If the package includes an oil separator, be sure that a (dual) safety
valve (GEA option) is fitted onto oil separator.
Hint!
The contractor is responsible for arranging the (dual) safety valve
according the Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU.
Warning!
The compressor is not charged with oil, therefore, DO NOT start the
compressor before it has been installed and prepared according to
Grasso's instructions.
The Compressor (Package) should be levelled and securely anchored to the
foundation.
All piping should be completed.
The system and the compressor are to be pressure tested for leaks (see.
Section 1.4.1, Page 24)
The system should be evacuated to remove air and moisture.
