IMPORTANT: Discharge piping should be at least as large as the discharge connection at the compressor. All piping and fillings must be suitably rated for the PRESSURE discharge pressure and temperature. RELIEF VALVE A careful review of piping size from the compressor PRESSURE connection point is essential.
NOTE: This procedure applies only to units manufac- 2.5 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION tured to multi-voltage specifications. Motor nameplate must indicate multiple voltages. Before proceeding further, we recommend that you review the safety data in the front of this manual. PROCEDURE: Locate the compressor data plate on the left end of Put main disconnect in the OFF position, lock and tag the cooler box next to the control box.

3.6 SETTING NEMA 4 PRESSURE SWITCH 7. Vent air from customer system to confirm switch operation is satisfactory. 1. Open isolation valve, allowing control system to sense “line” pressure. 8. Place unit in service. 2. Start the compressor. Operating variables in a system may cause changing pressure requirements.

Before beginning any work on the compressor, 4.5 SHEAVE ALIGNMENT open, lock and tag the main electrical disconnect Any degree of sheave misalignment will result in a and close the isolation valve on the compressor reduction of belt life. Misalignment of belt drive should discharge.

ALIGN SHEAVES ALLEN HEAD SCREW SHEAVE RETAINING SCREWS Insure that the compressor is isolated from the compressed air system by closing the isolation valve and venting pressure from the drip leg. Insure that the main power disconnect switch is locked and tagged. An easy and effective method of checking alignment in both directions between the driver and driven sheaves utilizes an accurate straightedge.
