Ensure Correct Motor Rotation Direction
During the initial start-up, it is essential to confirm the correct rotation direction of the motor.
A directional arrow indicating the correct rotation is marked on the compressor unit at the factory.
After starting the unit, observe the motor's rotation.-
If the motor rotates in the wrong direction, the phase sequence must be corrected by swapping any two of the three-phase 380V power supply lines.

Check the Exhaust Valve
Before starting the air compressor, check whether the exhaust valve at the outlet is open.-
The valve must remain in the open position; otherwise, the internal pressure will not be released after startup.
-
This may cause the safety valve on top of the oil-gas separator tank to activate and release pressure forcefully, potentially expelling the screw oil inside.
-
-
Inspect the Interior of the Unit
Open the cabinet of the unit and inspect the interior for any signs of leakage, dripping, or abnormal conditions.-
If any such issues are found, immediately contact the manufacturer for on-site service.
-
Also, check the level of the screw oil to ensure it is within the safety range.
-
If the oil level is too low, it may cause the unit to shut down due to high temperature after starting.
