▪Before start up:
•Make sure all safety warning labels and instructions have been read and understood before continuing.
•Make sure any shipping materials and brackets are removed.
•Be sure the electric power source has been firmly connected and grounded.
•Make sure all pressure connections are tight.
•Confirm all safety relief valves are correctly installed.
•Check that all fuses and circuit breakers are the proper size.
•Make sure the inlet filter is correctly installed.
•Inspect the drain valve to be sure it is closed.
▪Start-up and operation:
•Turn the electric source breaker on.
•Be sure the auto drainer is energized.
•Turn the pressure switch or both pressure switches on. (SLT-15D/20D) DO NOT turn both switches on at same time.
•Open the discharge valve completely.
•Confirm the compressor operates without excessive vibration, unusual noises or leaks.
•Close the discharge valve completely.
•If the pressure does not rise on a three phase unit, stop the unit and turn the electric source breaker off.
Switch the L1 and L2 connections inside the control box.
CAUTION!
If the pressure does not increase and an abnormal sound is heard during reverse rotation,
turn the pressure switch and the main electric source breakers off. Switch the L1 and L2
connections inside the control box.

Maintenance
The following maintenance is required at specific intervals. These intervals are based on conditions where the ambient
temperature is around 86°F. If your location is warmer or running condition is more severe, maintain within a shorter period.
During warmer conditions, shorten the period approximately 30% from our recommendation at every 9°F.
Standard maintenance period is not our warranty period.
▪Standard maintenance period
•For 115psi models (SLB-7.5 and SLB-10)
Maintenance is to be done according to operating hours, or period, whichever comes first.

Maintenance
▪How to carry out maintenance:
•Intake filter
Blow dust off the filter with an air gun and replace if it is dirty.
•Safety valve
Lift up the stem of the safety valve at around maximum pressure and check to see if air blows out.
•Belt tension
If the V belt makes a slipping sound at the startup, due to decrease of V belt tension, readjust the belt tension or replace it.
If belt tension is less than the figure in the chart below, adjust belt tension again.
An exclusive tool is necessary to measure belt tension.
Ask our distributor to readjust belt tension when needed.
