Section III - Installation

Fluid Level

Compressor Rotation

The compressor is filled at the factory with the correct amount of fluid. A fluid tag is provided which identifies the type of fluid installed when the unit was shipped. The fluid level is monitored by a sightglass with the compressor running. The fluid level should be maintained in the run zone. Fluid can be added by removing the fill plug after the machine is shut down and any internal pressure is relieved. DO NOT OVER

FILL.

Fluid Level Sightglass

The compressor rotation must be checked prior to

start-up.Proper rotation is counter-clockwise as viewed from the power-input end. The power-input end of the compressor is marked with an arrow (located on the motor adapter) noting the proper rotation. To check for proper rotation, briefly jog the start button, allowing the motor to turn two or three revolutions. Observe the drive element for correct direction. If incorrect rotation is observed, lock out power supply, reverse electrical leads L1 and L3 at the motor starter. Recheck for correct

rotation. Allowing the compressor to rotate in the wrong direction will result in extensive damage to the compressor and will void warranty.

Fan Rotation

After the compressor rotation is checked, check the fan rotation. Fan air flow should be outward, pushing the air out the discharge vent of the acoustical enclosure. The discharge vent is located just above the service line connection on the end of the acoustical enclosure.
