Unload” position (see Fig. 4-2). Now the compressor can be started
unloaded. Once the compressor is running at full speed, flip the
toggle lever back to the “RUN” position.

Pre-Starting Checklist and Initial Starting & Operating.)
Step 6) Check system pressure.
Step 7) Check all pressure relief valves for proper operation.
Step 8) Check control system for proper operation.
Step 9) Check the lubricant level in the crankcase several minutes after
the compressor has run. (Discoloration or a higher lubricant level
reading may indicate the presence of condensed liquids.) If lubricant
is contaminated, drain and replace.
