Form 070.655-IOM (FEB 2022) Installation – Operation – Maintenance File: Service Manual – Section 070 Replaces: 070.655-IOM (MAY 2019) Distribution: 3, 3a, 3b, 3c Rotary Screw Compressor SBTP 355 and 408 Series This manual contains installation, operation, and maintenance instructions. Read thoroughly before beginning installation. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury or death, damage to the unit, or incorrect operation.
A screw compressor is a vapor pump. To ensure that ordering repair parts, provide the model, serial, and working fluid in the liquid state is not being ingested, per- Frick sales order numbers from the data plate. See form the following checks: Figure 1.

Rotors: the rotors are machined from AISI-1141 or Y40Mn steel to the exacting tolerances of the latest Frick profile. The male rotor is directly connected to the driver while the female rotor is driven by the male on a thin oil film.

NOTICE Unless the Service Technician has been certified by Johnson Controls–Frick to rebuild our compressors, troubleshoot- ing the compressor is limited to identifying the probable cause. If a mechanical problem is suspected, contact Johnson Controls–Frick Service. Do not attempt to disassemble compressor.
Slide stop does not function either There is an mechanical issue Manually actuate the solenoid. If the slide stop direction does not move, this indicates mechanical prob- lems. Consult Johnson Controls-Frick Service. Note: See Compressor hydraulic system for additional information.
The installer must check and complete the following items before the arrival of the Frick Field Service Supervisor. Details on the checklist can be found in this manual. Certain items on this checklist are reverified by the Frick Field Service Supervisor before the actual start-up.
