17 FIRST START UP OPERATION
Recommendations:
Before starting the compressor for the first time, make sure that:
a
- the flexible hoses are in good condition and efficient and do not show any signs of
abrasion or cracks
- the electrical power phases are connected properly. A phase reversal protection
does not allow the compressor to start and prevents damages to the air end.
- The compressor must not be operated on with the door open
- all protections are in place and fixed properly
- all the electrical wiring is in good conditions, and that the earth is properly
connected
- there are no oil or air leaks
Before opening the valve and letting the air into the connecting hose, make sure that its end is fixed.
b
This is to prevent whip-lashing of the hose that could cause injuries.
At the end of each working session, switch the power off using the off button on the controller.
c
d
The air generated contains oil vapour and cannot be breathed; therefore the compressor
should be placed in a separate room.
