WARNING! Do not connect rigid pipe directly to the compressor. Motor vibration
loosens fittings, causing leaks. Use the flexible pipe provided or a similar substitute.
Step One:
Make sure the power supply is turned off and matches the voltage rating of the motors.
Note: Appropriate Breaker size is listed on the machine data tag.
Step Two:
Connect the power, making sure to adhere to all local and state codes.
Connect the “Green” Ground wire to an earth ground.
Note: 3 wire system.
Step Three:
Attach the flexible piping and connect to on-site piping.
Note:
Install appropriate over current protection; i.e., circuit breaker.

Start-Up & Test
Step One:
Turn off the switches on the front of the compressor.
Step Two:
Ensure that the dryer by-pass shut-off valve is open.
Step Three:
Ensure that strainer shut-off valve is open.
Step Four:
Close outlet valve on the compressor tank.
Step Five:
Apply power to system — the purge valve my emit a hissing sound as the purge timer resets.
Step Six:
Switch on the motors. If you hear the popping sound of air escaping the relief valve, the dryer by-pass valve is closed.

Step Seven:
As the tank pressurizes, watch the
pressure gauge. If the pressure switch
is functioning normally, the motors will
shut off at approximately 100 PSI.
Wait five minutes and watch the gauge
to ensure there are no leaks in the
C Series. The system should lose
no more than one PSI per minute.
Step Eight:
Test the purge valve by pressing the
TEST button. If the valve is functioning
normally, you will hear the hiss of air
escaping for approximately ten seconds.
NOTE! Do not adjust the timer dials on the purge valve.
If the purge timing needs adjustment, call technical support.

Step Nine:
Release air using the purge-valve
TEST button and watch the pressure
gauge to see when the motors start.
The motors should start when the
pressure drops to approximately 80 PSI.
You may have to push the TEST button
several times before enough air is
released to lower the pressure to 80 PSI.
Step Ten:
Open the outlet valve on the tank to
pressurize the piping and wait until the
tank is fully pressurized and the motors
stop running.
Step Eleven:
Ensure that no equipment is drawing
pressure from the tank. When no equip-
ment is drawing on the tank, pressure
should drop no more than 1 PSI per
minute.
Watch the pressure gauge. If pressure
drops faster than 1 PSI per minute, an
air leak is indicated somewhere in the
system. Repair as necessary.
